Deconstructing

Deconstructing in fashion terms describes garments which have been left unfinished, tearing, falling apart but in a deliberate way. Alison Gill says it is "the literal dismantling of clothes to destroy fashion" to give a feeling of dishevelled grunge.Rather than finishing the garment, seems are left visible, patches are sewed and contrasting materials are paired together.
Marc Jacobs
Pieces of material look hand sewn together, last minute. Marc Jacobs is usually known for tailored pieces.
 It ignores certain fashion ideals creating a whole new aesthetic.

Stolen Girlfriends Club
This small label was set up by 3 men from New Zealand. They sell their garments in high end boutiques and I think their style embodies deconstruction in a simple form.
