High waisted, faded denim shorts have been ubiquitous at this summer’s festivals and in the capital of late. Back then, they were worn with cropped denim jackets, silk blouses and indie-grunge black opaque tights.

Acid wash jeans are the biggest trend in denim for 2009, and the A-list know it. Nicole Richie makes them work with her laid back boho vibe by teaming her’s with fringed accessories and a peasant blouse. Rihanna and Beyonce wear their jeans with an edge, teaming skin tight, ripped and rolled hem styles with leather and toweringheels.

From oversized faded jeans that evoke memories of Bananarama and Bros, to nylon bomber jackets, cropped tops, BOY London T-shirts, shoulder pads and body-con dresses.

Ripped denim hasn’t really been big since the grunge days of the 90s… so it may come as a surprise that it is back as a fashion trend for women in Spring-Summer 2008. Kate Moss wore ripped denim shorts in a shoot for April 2008’s Vogue Paris, and then we spotted these shots of Gisele Bundchen on set with Mario Testino in a rather revealing torn denim outfit.

On the runways, Christopher Kane’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection brought faded and torn skinny jeans back onto the agenda. Maison Martin Margiela’s collection was also littered with shredded up denim pieces that took ripped denim to the extreme.

From jeans to skirts to shorts, torn denim is also being embraced by certain members of the celebrity world, including Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan, below.

So how does the 2008 take on ripped jeans differ from its past incarnations? The short answer is, it doesn’t really. Well not much anyway – it’s more about how it’s worn than the pieces themselves. Unlike from the rebellious heavy metal torn denim of the 80s, or the loose grungy jeans of the 90s, the 08-09 ripped denim trend is all about being sexy and revealing. So will you be wearing ripped denim this year?
