Ann-Sofie Back’s Debut Collection for Cheap Monday Filled With Ripped ‘n Tattered Staples of Downtown Cool

Ann-Sofie Back recently signed up as the Creative Director of Cheap Monday so that she could help the famed denim label proceed beyond, well, just denim. And if her spring '10 collection, which showed earlier this week in Stockholm, is any indication, the sweet Swede label is well on its way. Ripped and tattered sweaters, shredded skirts, bleached chambray shirts and dresses, and plenty of mesh touch on all the big trends for downtown cool kids. But does it all feel a little stale and done, or is it a smash success? (Fashionologie)
