Unfinished Business: How Fashion Embraced the Perfectly Imperfect

Last summer, in the midst of an emotional tangle I was struggling to unknot, I made an impromptu trip abroad.

Why this theme of unfinishedness, why now? Talking to some of these designers, I got the impression they’d been engaged in reflection similar to my own on those long summer flights—and that, in considering how to create fashion at a moment rocked by various kinds of turmoil, they’d turned away from ideals of soigné impeccability and determined instead to capture the feeling of flux.

“Striving for perfection is just an invitation to failure,” says Tingle, explaining the genesis of the Sakara nutrition program Eat Clean, Play Dirty, which explicitly gives customers permission to screw up. “We prefer to think in terms of” Tingle goes on, pointing out that the word is often construed as referring to a permanent state of grace, as opposed to an ongoing effort to attain equilibrium.

These wellness-oriented conversations brought me back to the one I’d had with Risso, discussing the “unfinishedness” of his Marni collection. Seemingly as an aside, he mentioned that a few years ago he’d taken up the cello. “I was a novice, you know, and it went very slow—you can’t just click a button and be excellent,” Risso recalls. “And then little by little, you start to hear these wonderful sounds.

It’s funny that an erstwhile gothic theme—decay—could result in a collection so thrillingly alive. That’s a quality shared by all these “unfinished” fashion outings: They thrum with in-the-moment-ness, of not knowing where your next step will take you. That feeling of uncertainty—and possibility!—is what differentiates a person from a product, and reality from fantasy. And in reality, we are all buffeted by forces beyond our control.
