Critics mock designer’s $390 ‘panty skirt’ with thong on outside – it’s giving ‘I just pulled this out of the dryer’
FASHION fans are up in arms over a thong-inspired design gone wrong.
They mocked a designer’s unique skirt, with many saying that people should keep their privates, private.
Many slammed Vaquera’s $390 Panty pencil midi skirt, which features a layered lace panty detail on the front and back of the skirt.
The black version of the skirt includes a pair of lace pink panties, while a miniskirt version includes a black pair.
The miniskirt, currently on sale for $161, originally retailed for $535.
Fashion enthusiasts criticized the daring piece, with many repulsed by the concept.
One commenter felt that even the model wearing the product in the photos looked unhappy to be in it.
“Something about male gaze? Because the models look so unhappy,” they said.
“I would chalk this up to fetishists.”
Others couldn’t help but agree.
“She looks like a disheveled mother in 15th century France,” joked one commenter.
“She looks like a cult member,” added another.
Many questioned the intention of the designer to create the piece.
“Why are they sexualizing modestly clothed people by stapling underwear to them? What’s the philosophical motive for that?” asked one.
“To start imagining modest women in their undergarments?
“Women who dress modestly want to not be imagined in their underwear.
“I can’t imagine some good message behind this.”
“Somehow, this outfit manages to look dowdy AND inappropriate at the same time!” added another.
One critic revealed a fear they had if they were to step out in public in the fit.
“It’s giving ‘I just pulled this out of the dryer, but I’m out of fabric softener,'” they said.
“Ma’am, there are panties stuck to your dress,” added another.
