More of:Titled Dante, that Alexander McQueen collection from 1996 involved the descent into hell of the jean waist. As an aesthetic response to the impeccable minimalism of Gwyneth Paltrow or Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (not a split toe, hey), the bad boy of British fashion was the first to take sagging pants to the catwalk as only a few rappers dared to wear them: leaving glimpse the underwear, when not the pubic hair. Seriously, if you thought they couldn't get any lower than Paris Hilton's photo album, check out Look 54 from that show or the Rage Against The Machine concerts.

The designer raised the concept to the point of raising it as the star silhouette of the two thousand. It became the meeting place for Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears when the tabloid press insisted on speculating on their rivalry. Or in the official uniform of Jamie Dornan and Keira Knightley's relationship as much as the leather-effect blazer had been in Gwyneth and Brad's. Those jeans that made us feel so cold in the lower back (oh, those "kidneys") must have made mothers angry. They intended to oppose, like a rebellious teenager, the mom jeans (literally, mother's jeans) of the 90s, in the same way that in 2022 they constitute the response of trends to the comfort in which our closet seemed to have been plunged after confinement. Just as McQueen conceived them, they seek disruption, provocation, annoyance. If it wasn't hard to get used to the idea of wearing them again, they wouldn't be a trend anymore.
Accused of favoring a canon of unattainable beauty, it was never the fault of pants that society idealized thinness, the extremely flat abdomen or the marked pelvis with the same selfless devotion professed by the collages in Bridget Jones's fridge. We can't even blame them for the navel piercing rage or the muffin top concern. The crop top that has been in fashion since the 60s also participated in the first, and in the second we had more to do with the magazines. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the return of low-rise pants in 2022 is the challenge of adapting them to the aesthetic diversity towards which brands are heading. We will believe a little more in them when we see them, not only in Anja Rubik, but also in Paloma Elsesser in the new Zara. Because at the moment, they are carried by the same girl –Marissa Cooper– with other names: Emily Ratajkowski, Bella Hadid, Lily Rose Depp...
With the catwalks and all the Euphoria casting going for them, it doesn't look like the millennial generation that suffered through them in the 2000s is going to stop the rise of indecently low-waisted pants. Although you win, they are not lacking. And if you don't ask Violeta Valdés that since she opened this melon on Instagram she hasn't stopped receiving votes against it. What have we told you about the "I never..."? All those people who now deny the low pants of that time are our mothers swearing that they would not go back to the bell-bottom pants of the 70s. And they have had time to change their minds... Twice. However, there are also strong defenders starting with Kim Kardashian who, when it comes to raising eyebrows, always points first.
Kim Kardashian attended the confirmation of Kanye West's new courtship from the tranquility of a hammock at a luxury resort in the Bahamas. Accompanied by Pete Davidson with whom she was about to enjoy a romantic getaway away from the spotlight, the businesswoman arrived at Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club wearing a black bodysuit and ripped pants. Far from the oppressive mono-legging that has not been removed since Saturday Night Live, closer to the relaxed and carefree style that the comedian also represents (remember Ariana Grande's ex, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber and Phoebe Dynevor), his styling It served to confirm the new stage that his sentimental life has opened in his closet. Balenciaga will sponsor her divorce as much as her divorce sponsors Balenciaga, but in her new relationship, baggy, worn, low-rise, ultra-low, sagging, sagging pants have taken over.
Paparazzi surprised the couple upon their arrival in the archipelago on January 5, just a few hours after the first photos of Ye with Julia Fox and her Miaou pantanga (thong-effect strappy pants) were made public. However, Kim didn't share her look on Instagram until a few days later. She either wanted to send a message through her clothes – when you go, I'll come back from there – or maybe it was just Kim doing the Kardashian.
The fact is that a few days later, Julia Fox reappeared subscribed to the trend with another low-rise pants, this time, tight and leather effect. The Bar Coyote version could be interpreted as: you've been here before, but I'll do better. Or as a simple confirmation of her aesthetic commitment to the Y2K silhouette because, once again, at Paris Fashion Week, she was betting on the same type of pants. This time, go big.
In an homage to Britney and Justin's double denim, Julia and Ye closed the two-mile circle with two coordinated looks that included the low-rise jeans of revenge, if not against Kim Kardashian, then at least against all those sweatpants, skinny jeans and high-waisted leggings that they wear too much? fashion time. Some people think so...
