you can buy fabric in a roll which is already like this. or your can spray on an enzyme that eats away at the fabric. it's left on for several minute then put into a chemical wash to stop it eating right through the fabric.
there is different techniques for different fabric blends and GSMs. you can also sand blast the t-shirt. traditionally this is done with denim.
small tears and rips are done with a Dremil finger grinder or sand paper.
the print is done using a bleach. not White King. they use the same screen printing method, only they use a paint that contains a bleach. this also needs to be washed off to prevent eating right through.
having said that, the skull on this chicks t-shirt actually looks like a standard screen print. not bleached. a bleach print often has fuzzy edges becaue the bleach absorbs into the fabric.
