G-string trend is here to stay after racy show at Paris Fashion Week

A racy runway show has proven that the exposed G-string trend is here to stay after an array of models strutted their stuff at Paris Fashion Week with their underwear on full display.But while some had hoped the revival of the iconic 90s and Noughties fashion trend, labeled “trashy” and “vulgar” by some online critics, would fade away – it appears the controversial style is instead being taken up a notch.During the Luis de Javier Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show, held on Tuesday at the Espace Niemeyer, the catwalk was flooded with lingerie-clad models flaunting deliberately accentuated undies.Think low-slung pants with the lace delicates pulled high to the waist and sheer skirts with built-in thongs.There was even a bubble skirt that had to be held up by the model because it sat on the top of their thighs, putting a good few inches between it and the white string undergarment, once again worn in a “V” on the waist.While it could be assumed that the Spanish designer has inadvertently created a conveyor belt of G-strings due to the see-through nature of his outfits, it’s hard to avoid the fact many of the teeny-tiny undies aren’t actually covered by any fabric.Case in point: The revealing outfit worn by model Riccardo Tisci, comprised of a cropped jacket, a bejeweled G-string, booty shorts and stockings.It seems de Javier wanted her undies to more than poke out from under the black French-style knickers as there are pearls encrusted on the back to make it the star of the show.The runway model, who has 3.2 million followers, clearly wasn’t fazed by her daring look – revealing she was “proud to walk in de Javier’s Paris debut”.“I am so happy to have been there to support you in the process… it’s not an easy task to put out a collection in today’s world and if I helped you find your identity just a little, then I am the happiest of all,” she wrote on Instagram.Some of the outfits showcased in the de Javier show toned down the unde...
