Lets hope it doesnt catch on

My heart nearly stopped when a friend of mine sent the image above with the subject line “How Long before its here?” My response? NEVER! Apparently the Jeans Bikini Pant is a trend instigated by the Brazilians that is now infecting teen girls in Japan, which is a shame seeing as the Japanese are usually so on point when it comes to fashion.

I seriously can’t see the appeal and this is one trend I do not wish to see on the high street. I only just about managed to survive the whole “thong showing above a pair of hipsters” and don’t think my heart can take this travesty. And to think all it’d take for it to become a regular sighting on the streets would be for Kate Moss to be pictured in a pair which would promptly be added to her collection for Topshop…what is fashion coming to?


yikes! that is hideous.
I thought peek-a-boo thongs were bad, but this takes the fashion-from-hell cake. Scary!
That is beyond awful. In fact, I am at a loss for words really. I will pray nightly that these hideous things don’t make it stateside. Now I see what getting a Brazilian means! Actually, these lyrics come to mind:
“She had dumps like a truck truck truck
Thighs like what what what
Baby move your butt butt butt
That thong th thong thong thong” -Sisqo
I live in tokyo, and spend a lot of time taking pictures of unusual trends, and just funky sights, and I haven’t seen this anywhere. Wish I had, neither have any of my Japanese friends I sent it to.
I’ll keep looking though!
I think they look GREAT…on a girl with the right figure…very sexy….
