Yes, its the latest fashion craze, wonder if they will be a hit in Dubai
Bikini jeans
JUST when you thought fashion couldn't get any weirder, along comes ... the bikini jeans.
The eye-catching apparel feature a thong sewn into a pair of supremely low-slung jeans.
Not yet available in Australia, they have just gone on sale in the UK for about $A150, reports WalesOnline.
Created by Japanese clothing company Sanna’s, the booty-cut bottoms were born after a customer said she wanted jeans that sat lower than the hips but did not need to be hoicked up in an unladylike fashion.
Designer Sandra Tanimura, who owns a pair of the bikini jeans herself, said: “This was very difficult without the trousers falling down, so I came up with the idea of using the bikini strings."
The jeans are the latest incarnation of the bikini, invented by French engineer Louis Réard in 1946 which has been staple on beaches around the world since.
