Two people. A random night of spontaneity.
Swatches of my favourite denim jeans shredded to pieces all over the floor.
LOL did I catch you right there with the suggestive title and teaser line?
Well, in my defence, my jeans really did get torn off by theboyfriend. But I did not mean it in the :
Mr. Bean kind of way
So it was 4 in the morning and both of us were bored with nothing much to do.
I started lamenting to him about how my favourite pair of MNG jeans isn't really my style anymore.
I still love it, don't get me wrong.
But I find myself more into skinny jeans now instead of straight-cut and boot-leg cut jeans. That, and also the fact that I don't own a pair of ripped/slashed denim shorts.
LIKE THOSE LOVELY ONES I KEEP SEEING ON SUPRE AND ASOS! 🙁
So we decided to get creative with a pair of blunt scissors, a knife, our thinking caps & of course, my jeans.
Looked up what designs I liked and what designs I disliked before deciding on our own design.
Step 1 : Cutting up my jeans to my desired length
Snip snip snip!
We decided to cut it a bit longer just in case we made any mistakes
Ta-daaa! Well, this is what it'll look like if sewn into place
But I wasn't looking for demure, boring ol' denim shorts like the myriads I have in my wardrobe.
I was seeking something more…. wild. One that boasts a Slashed-Ripped-Torn look
So with my knife and his blunt scizzors, we started to pick at it furiously!
Kept hacking and slashing at it to create a rugged look with jaggered edges
Step 2 : Slash & rip at it in no particular order. No rigidity whatsoever!
He attacked the front of my (now) denim shorts while I attacked the back.
I wanted claw-marks too at the front of my shorts, beneath both pockets but I didn't want them to look alike.
We ended up giving it horizontal claw marks beneath my right pocket & diagonal claw marks beneath my left
Hack hack hack. slash slash slash. rip rip rip. And here's the result :
Nice? What do you think?
I love it to shreds. LOL quite literally too! 😛
Worn them out only once but already getting quite comfy with them already
