I have just finished a series of jackets that have slashsed detailing and wonderful raw edge appliques and a little embellishment to set everything off.  I love the texture of the slashed denim against the washed and frayed appliques.  I finish the look with a little blooming chenille embellishment on the collar with a little vintage lace and some crystals.  It gives a new look to an old denim jacket!  I am thinking of doing a tutorial if there is interest!  Let me know!  Get out your old denim jacket and get ready!
