Thong Jeans and Dirty Sneakers Hit the Runway at Tokyo Fashion Week

While it may seem that there are no fashion rules left to break, Thibaut seriously challenged expectations with daring thong jeans at Tokyo Fashion Week.
The pants — a more extreme version of jeans that Kendall Jenner stepped out in last April — were styled with an oatmeal-colored long-sleeved bodysuit, gray sneakers and see-through glasses on the runway in Japan.
The iconoclast jeans were paired with New Balance 993 sneakers, streaked with black on the toes to match the grungy look of the heavily distressed jeans.
The jeans might lack practicality, but the sneakers are fully functional. All looks from the collection were styled with sneakers — besides a few models who came out in bare feet — and multiple brands made their way down the runway, including Nike and Adidas in addition to New Balance.
On top of the daring jeans, the collection also boldly featured bras with giant holes cut through the middle, which were draped over long-sleeved shirts, as well as dramatically ruffled harem pants and lacy white capes.
