Knit Me A Mark Fast Dress

Mark Fast, Andam 2010 nominee, definitely knows how to make a knit dress look torn apart in a most elegant and orderly manner, which, when you think about it, is kind of paradoxical. These are (conveniently) arranged chronologically and the evolution of Fast's design is quite obvious this way. The rips become more and more complex and kind of lose their original rawness to rather embrace a more ordered romanticism.

I admire the intricate rip designs but I must say these perhaps more "moderate" pieces caught my eye. I kind of want them. I totally see myself wearing the black dress at my private French catholic school which is named after a Saint by the way in particular. I think the whole rip across ma boobs thing going on would be holy approved of. The skirt I love because it just looks like those ravels of what might be suede are dangerously hanging by (a) thread(s). The way the material is cut right at the hips is also somewhat attractive.

But for now, I think that when it comes to ripped (artfully...or not) garments I'll have to stick to homemade slashed tights!
