Tearing up a Trend.

Rebel, rebel, your jeans are back. You know the ones -- the jeans you love so much you wear them till they fall apart. On the streets of London, New York, California, I notice offhand styles evoking seventies punk, when the goal was to look like you could only afford one pair: ripped, bleached and washed beyond all recognition.
Punk-influenced designers like Martin Mariegela, Cheap Monday and Anna-Sofie Back have put torn denim on the catwalk. The trend is no surprise - Punk's DIY ethos often makes a comeback in times of crisis, like in today's   crisis. Today as in the punk era, it's all about being creative with a minimum of resources.
