Is this really the new in thing?

I think I may just be downright utterly unstylish...is Asos really trying to sell a jumper with a giant hole at the hip and calling it 'distressed'...here really?

I've been looking for cream jumpers, I'm going to give up now.

I was fine with the eighties style torn jeans...but jumpers? In this weather??? No, just no.

I think Viv looks like she's got dressed in a rush, in the dark.

Oh wow, I have loads of shite and holey distressed stuff in any fashionistas want to buy it?] I'll give you mate's rates Grin

It's grunge, innit?

Although, I seem to remember grunge being all fishermen's jumpers and fishnet; not white, posh wool.

Ha! I love that it's marked down ... you mean it didn't sell at full price? Really?

I love Vivienne Westwood. She looks mad but she looks as if she's always having a fantastic time, and after all she does obviously enjoy shocking people rather than being in perfect taste.

Her clothes are cut very sexily, too. IMO.

  • Not the clothes she's wearing in that shot, though!

Don't want you to think I'm mad.

This has got to be a joke hasn't it??

Cahoots · 25/10/2012 13:35

Blimey, they are everywhere
I think I will have a cheap Pink one

fuzzywuzzy · 25/10/2012 13:52

Cahoots at least the ones you've linked to show a graduated missed stitching pattern. The one in my OP looks just like my youngest DD's jumpers after she has fallen off her bike... oh there's a point I don't have to buy my girls new clothes, they're wearing 'distressed' fashion dontcha know.....

So is everyone (except me) going to be walking around in jumpers with giant holes this winter?

It's true the one you originally posted is the worst. Grin It is hilariously awful.

I am not getting one either.

I think that this means we are all officially old. They look bonkers. And in any other life VW would be sectioned for walking about like that, not lauded as a style icon
