If Everyone Jumped: Holey Haute

by Rachelle Robinett

From Rodarte to Yamamoto, Spring saw head-to-toe holes, tatters, dishevelment and dirt (or is that gold dust?). The sort of glam grunge, with glitter amid the grime (the “shrapnel holes” in Balmain’s tops were healed with gilded patches) may seem like simple styling, or is it more Swamp Thing? These looks wouldn’t be completely out of place in a Halloween ensemble, but come spring will you be treating yourself to a similar look?
