Ripped Jeans
Shop ripped and distressed jeans for men and women from Purple Brand, Ksubi, Amiri, Diesel and independent boutiques.
Ripped jeans bring deliberate fraying, distressing, and abrasions to classic denim pants. Heavy cotton weaves in shades of indigo, blue, and black balance shredded knees with deconstructed, relaxed, and wide leg cuts. Contrast holds each outfit together when frayed hems pair with smooth leather jackets or fine velvet collars.
Ripped jeans came out of punk in the seventies, when Iggy Pop and the Ramones wore them, and grunge brought them back in the nineties. Mike Amiri started Amiri in his hometown, Los Angeles, and its jeans here include shotgun and thrasher styles. Purple Brand, founded in Vancouver, brings paint splatter and rhinestone jeans, while Ksubi, from Sydney, is known for its denim and its box cross logo.
Utopia in Toronto brings the Amiri on this wall, some of it pre owned, and Outlined in Toronto brings Purple Brand and Ksubi. Indigo denim and dark trousers anchor simple white tees or heavy boots without extra fuss.
