How Low Can You Go?

MIU MIU’S MODEL ARMY marching down the runway in cropped sweaters and low-slung miniskirts. Emily Ratajkowski showing off abdominal acreage at the most recent CFDA Fashion Awards.

When early-aughts trends found their way back into the limelight, those of us who experienced them the first time around were understandably wary of lowrise anything coming back into style. But spring 2022 brought an onrush of exposed hipbones and lower midriffs from Blumarine, Balmain, and more. Even Molly Goddard, beloved for her princessy frocks, had low-rise denim in the mix.
