- A new designer, Thibaut, has made a pair of thong jeans.
- The jeans made their debut at Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo.
- People on Twitter don't understand them.
- Designers need to leave jeans alone.
From platform Crocs to stilettos with built-in socks, there's something distinctly off-kilter about designer fashion this year. The latest calamity is a pair of perplexing thong jeans, which we first read about on Harper's Bazaar.
The super-distressed jeans, which surfaced this week during a show at Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo, look just like their name suggests.

Naturally, people on Twitter had a lot to say about this fashion travesty.

Would you wear ‘THONG jeans'? Bizarre designer denim trend puts your entire bum on display#denim#jeans
— July Matters (@july_matters) October 19, 2017The pants, which aren't for sale yet, are far from the first pair of unconventional jeans a designer has tried to sell this year.
We've already weathered the ill-conceived butt crack jeans from ASOS, dirt-smeared jeans from Nordstrom, and see-through plastic jeans from Topshop. Meanwhile, supermodels like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner have also been spotted wearing peculiar denim looks lately.
As Business Insider's Kate Taylor aptly pointed out earlier this year, we are in the midst of a global denim crisis — and we want out.
