If it’s meant to look like a glitch then why do they do the stitching in the areas around the cuts using thread colors that contrast with the denim color? It just makes the cuts look like part of an intentional design rather that any kind of random glitch phenomenon.

This is stupid. Even for fashion.

I assume this is what random glitch phenomena actually look like irl :wink:

I love the Slash design, but worry I would have to stand just so for the effect to work in the real world.

High fashion stuff is not meant to be worn in public, nor folded, not even laundered. Buy it, photograph yourself in it, then discard.

I think people would stare at it, if one did wear them in public, until they figured out where the holes went.

Man, negative comments today. I think these are pretty cool. Not practical in any way, but that’s not the point of fashion.

I do expect the look best exactly as photographed – straight-on, freshly pressed, against a neutral background – but as a piece of art I think these are cool.

OMG! FUN!

Uh, yeah, no… I’ll just pull out the ol’ sewing machine and, with my crappy sewing skills, do this to and old shirt and pair of jeans and go as a glitch in the Matrix next halloween.

The computer running the simulation is applying edge textures to the model where it is detecting edges, of course.

The idea is the glitch.

I give up. I don’t understand fashion.

looks like reality copy art, or viceversa:

I think the first ones worked, at least on the photo, the second pair, not so much.

Kind of looks like the wearer’s been in some horrible, but strangely bloodless, industrial accident

Normally “the joke’s on you” is just a figure of speech; but in this case I’m going to interpret it literally.
