Why, you might ask, would such a fashion house want to make its clothes or accessories look worn-and-torn? \u201cBuilt on traces of tradition, pieces are composed with familiar elements transformed through a questioning of convention,\u201d read the official Prada collection show notes. A runway piece looking anything less than picture-perfect certainly defies convention, but the ragged shirts served a specific purpose\u2014to offset the sharp tailoring and smart coats that they were paired with, making them feel just a little more authentic, lived in, and, frankly, real<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Over the years, fashion has been pretty obsessed with taking other familiar closet staples\u2014like a crisp white sneaker, or knit crewneck sweater\u2014and well, f-ed them up. It\u2019s an eye-catching way to demystify the world of high-fashion, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

Back in the resort 2018 season, for instance, Gucci made waves when it showed white sneakers that looked like they had just been on a dusty trail run\u2014the luxurious styles covered in a grimy-gray effect. Brands like Golden Goose continue to sell similar styles<\/a>, doubling down on the idea that distressed can be chic.<\/p>\n

Luxurious bags have gotten similar treatments. Back in spring 2014<\/a>, Chanel\u2014during the Karl Lagerfeld era and to much uproar\u2014released a dirtied, graffitied collection of totes and backpacks (some of which go for upwards of $15,000<\/a> now).<\/p>\n
