The first incarnation of Pluto A La Mode was monochromatic make-up & austere chic – now of course, the shredded thing is everywhere. Is it Plutonic? A kind of homage to making-do? A dignified acknowledgement that whilst you may be in designer clobber, you totally get it? And with warpaint? Like, rejecting trad make-up & going straight for a tribal marking? And, assuming this is not an outfit for a job interview – as such, though the nipple poking through would probably work in some industries – where would one wear it?

Love it! Really really do.
Looks like some of my old sweaters after being in Minks’ house ie rattie.
Coincidentally bought a ’shred’ cardigan yesterday at sales.
Black & white stripe, mid thigh length knit with 4 places deliberately
unknitted.
The boutique hadn’t sold any at all, hence 50% off.
But then i loved the clothes in the Matrix, Trinity & Neo style rags.
Destroyed some good items getting THAT look:) Aged, like me.-
pegasus I loved the clothes in the Matrix too… for ages I got around looking like that – even had my hair cut really short – all distressed with threads hanging off but with industrial-strength boots/cargo pants and the like. It was a bit much for the mums at my girls’ conservative private school, but just fine at art school.
-
hmm well, most things are a bit much for the mums at conservative private schools…TA I SO cannot see you fitting in with beige wool slacks, a gold fob chain and / or pearls and a black skivvy with perfectly blonded hair. i hope you still wore your matrix outfit and rocked up with some serious music blaring (with some diamond earrings bigger than theirs. you see the point i am trying to make.
) difficult pisces x\
PS i like the shred but the bod underneath must be worthy.

what’s wrong with a bit of cellulite peek-a-boo?

Now THAT’s Pluto in Capricorn!!

She could totally get away with wearing that if she was whizzing out to her local for an early morning take away coffee…. what nipple? lol
-
so, mr barista, would a free nipple mean that her coffee was on the house that daY? lol
-
-
One might wear it to a spray tanning session for a kind of jungle/camouflage affect.
Or is that Anna Kournikova post bar room cat fight?
Is it Plutonic? Could signify the post boom, GFC deconstruction of how smart and stylish the posh set thought they were; tearing away the pretenses with the tearing away of assets.
Could also be Uranus vs Saturn. Freedom vs structure.
-
And what is with face painting at the mo? Urban tribalism? Spackle for faces that can no longer afford micodermabrasion?
-
Adam Ant resurgence?
-
I like the tribal make-up idea. I’d love it if it came back into everyday fashion and people wore it to work, etc. Started re-establishing tribes and individuality that way.
-
-
Perhaps it’s a sign of things to come as we ravage trash bins and such and facilitate GFC urban type gangs…
Fashion wise though I’m thinking that since I still don’t wear sunglasses here in the desert I’ll just put a couple of dark lines under my eyes for the glare and double as an Indian since we live on their land anyway.
Holes in the clothes double as an air conditioner…The new “green” GFC money saver so possibly Plutonian for that…But the war paint would melt off in a matter of minutes…I’d take the scissors to make a crop top and pair of shorts for heat friendliness.
With nippy popping out and trendy look, I’m thinking she would fit in at a nightclub because other than the runway not sure where you would wear it unless one stratigically taped the top in place.
Then again, I was crawling down sidewalks in new Levi’s as a teen trying to get the knees to wear out quicker so they would shred. If one crawls is that still fashion forward? Guess Pluto on natal IC biquintile Moon in 8th is creatively Plutonian, eh?
-
I must be eminently unfashionable. I hate this look! I think it’s a waste of good clothes. And having actually seriously done the shredded look when at uni because i couldn’t afford new clothes, I go down on my knees and thank the lord that I never have to look like this again!
-
Well, that could be the plutonian point of the GFC….That the privilaged never had to wear holey clothes. I know I never had to but was not privilaged. Glad you get to wear “whole” clothes now Seabird…
News flash this past week: Madoff’s wife had to relinquish the penthouse apt. and all contents so they can be sold to pay back individuals that were swindeled. Vaguely heard something about a fur coat. Maybe she wanted to keep? If so, rude, but heard she feels embarrassed by the whole affair…
Good…

There was a Japanese designer who used bandages wrapped around
the body & frayed at edges.
Liked that too, kinda Mummyish.
Alchemist, Trinity would be my avatar in cyberspace, if i went
there to play,she gave superb seriousity & sensuality.Poor Adders, she can be waaay behind the 8 ball in lots of ways.
Just today was asking ‘Adelaide, where is your heart & soul’?
The answer was ‘just go to Melbourne for the weekend & have some
fun’.
This came about because there is a 50% off sale. Saw & tried on a
Flesh coloured (beigie-pink) leather jacket. Beyond divine.
in love with it at Wilde Child Style Lab & absolutely no where to wear it here at all.
Delicious immpracticality that Cap rising says ‘ NO you cain’t have it’. End of story.If you saw it you would have to have it, i’m sure.
I love threads, always have, yet happiest in swimmers & sarong only. -
She claims so much innocence, Sweetpea, but doubt it. Said she felt taken in too.
Love my Vanity Fair for inside info on the USofA. The only Glossy i still but apart
from Marie Claire a few times a year, when it’s an extra thick edition:)
This is a Pluto in Cap affair i believe.-
There was a post I did on Bernie Madoff in January
http://mysticmedusa.com/2009/01/30/the-astro-of-bernie-madoff/
Very very very Pluto in Cap

I’ve always felt that an exposed nipple gives one so much clout during intense negotiations. Or in the bedroom.
You know, take your pick.
-
Pluto in Scorp. My midheaven is also in Scorp.
This look is so unbelievably hideous! Why would you shred your clothes? I find the look trashy and cheap. But then, my sense of fashion is very clean cut and nice. This is super ugly in my opinion
BTW, I’m 13 and this is super popular with teenagers.
I think it is incredibly hideous-
I agree…ak! Maybe if it wasn’t so contrived. That nip poking out is just silly!

You go Luinae and stick to your fashion guns. i was always slightly out of step with it all in my teens and didn’t give a rats tush, But love this look. I have bought a shredded look red poncho that no one gets but me and it really looks out of place in the reirement village I call my home town. Love it.
-
Darling Luninae, you would not have been born in the Punk era & seen some
of the funky ripped eaten & torn clothes that were around then. This is tame in comparison!
LeoGroover, go to the City, wear your poncho there. Leos & retirement villages don’t
blend to well methinks. -
love it!
the look IS hot. end of story.
worn possibly post beach?
to pub near the beach?
…bikini top under? -
Today at self hypnosis course (don’t ask), the annoying german lady who askes too many questions turned up with HAIR BOOTS ON.
Totally reminding me of MM’s Aqua bauhaus hair skirt fashion posts! The boots were knee high, camel coloured and hairy all over including foot. fuqing heinous.
-
that top’s not shredded, it’s very artistically crocheted and would look brilliant with a cami under it
-
I have a triple Scorp friend who LOVES the shredded jeans vibe. Can’t stand it, I’m not 15.
-
when i first read the title i didn’t see the pic, and thought immediately of Slash from guns’n'roses i.e. guitar ’shredding’ which i reckon has a deffo plutonic side to it… think wagner-esque van halen et cetera…
-
Shedding defo plutonic – snakes do it!
