Is Ripped Denim a New Trend or Dead End?

What do Mena Suvari, Ashley Olsen and Vanessa Hudgens have in common? Their appreciation for some seriously ravaged denim!
On Saturday, American Horror Story star Suvari covered up in a fur-lined parka, leopard scarf and combat booties. Her only ventilation? Seriously slashed denim.
That same day, Olsen stepped out in N.Y.C. sporting a menswear-inspired overcoat, a doctor’s bag by The Row and black skinnies — with conspicuously cut-out knees.
Two days later, Hudgens, whose penchant for throwback looks has not gone unnoticed this year, rounded out the trifecta. Wearing a cropped shearling and vintage-style accessories, the star completed her look with (what else?) distressed denim.
We’re always open to Hollywood-inspired trends, but want to know what you think. Tell us: Are ripped jeans a trend or simply a dead end?
