On Thursday, supermodel Bella Hadid attended Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Fashion Week show at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Naturally, she wore the namesake designer’s clothing to the event, which included not low-rise pants but baggy pants worn low across her hips. They might’ve been men’s pants, who knows, I’m no expert. I am, however, upset about it: There’s something like two inches of exposed flesh just south of her belly button, a region any reasonable person would hide beneath a pair of flattering high-waisted pants, as is the current trend. Obviously, Hadid is supernaturally beautiful, so she looks great in those terrible trousers, but she is also a tastemaker. This leaves me concerned. I don’t want the rest of us to be forced to look terrible in those terrible trousers.
