Hmmm, how do you wear hack???

This may be a really simple response but I thought of the word hack in terms of an adjective. The images below show the leather jacket I hacked into. I used scissors to tear up the jacket, expose the lining and rip seams. When I put the jacket on my model, there were still sleeves and some parts of the jacket still in tact, but most of it was still unrecognisable.

Because I thought of the word hack as an action, I decided to physically apply that action to an existing garment. In trying to define what 'wearing' means, in this instance I guess I was looking at it from a visual sense. If you look at the images I took, the garment looks like it was hacked into. In saying that, I'm not sure if that brings me any closer to the original question because I 've applied the word to the garment, not neccesarily to the action of wearing. It's too hard to define!!Ahhhh...
