The newest trend for Spring 2016: butt cleavage. At least that’s the message Brit brand Sibling sent down the runway last week in London.
The design trio — consisting of Joe Bates, Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery — were serving Johnny Unitas gone Mod at the Whiskey A-Go-Go on acid with a football-themed show heavy on Saville Row tailoring and low on the models’ firm backsides.
“All the lace trousers were knitted, they’d come from a very traditional pair of NFL sports trousers,” McCreery told i-D, “and the guys would always wear jock straps underneath it, and you just naturally get that gap – we just made the tops a bit shorter so the gap was a bit more obvious! But none of those guys had a problem with it.”
We don’t have a problem with it either.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Of course, this isn’t the first time the butt has reared its head in fashion, lest we forget Alexander McQueen’s iconic bumsters from the ’90s — as seen here in the late designer’s Savage Beauty retrospective.
Come to think of it, McQueen also had a football-themed show back with his Spring 2005 collection, It’s Only a Game:
McQueen’s may have been more haute couture, but Sibling definitely had its own charms.

If girls can show their cleavage why not butt cleavage for guys I say guys

Maybe this is only NYC but, YOUNG GUYs I see, contrary to YOUNG GIRLS, seem to prefer wearing loose fitting, baggy clothing that pretty much hides their sexuality. When I see a guy on the street in NYC in tight fitting jeans / pants, it is 99.9% of the time a White foreign tourist. And,
Didn’t plumbers invent this trend decades ago?
I’m tempted to ask who would pay for expensive pants that does what cheap ill fitting pants do. However, people seem to be paying for tatttered jeans.
Jaime Hurtado
Totally agree with Miquel show it off 🙂

Looks like a knock off of vintage Ruskin Hubert

What part of town are you living in? Da Bronx?

Rufskins’ been offering this stuff for a while. I don’t like it.
Saw that McQueen exhibit at the V&A a couple weeks ago. So great!

Oooohh let it take off in the UK..
Want to see it down my gay pub…

@Glücklich: “What part of town are you living in? Da Bronx?”
Who considers The Bronx to be NYC? It’s like saying Queens is NYC.
I guess you have to live in Manhattan to realize that there’s only Manhattan. I mean, seriously,
I’ve been to Queens. People in Queens refer to Manhattan as The City. as if, rightfully so, they are in another city.
Glücklich
I do live in Manhattan. Tight jeans everywhere, on New Yorkers and Euros alike. Same with Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City. You just make such odd, sweeping statements.
Glücklich
As an admitted clotheshorse who owns his share of odd and edgy garments, this whole collection is hideous.
MarionPaige
@Glücklich: “I do live in Manhattan”
You live in Manhattan and you’ve heard of a place called The Bronx? I’m still trying to figure out if I’ve ever “technically” been to The Bronx (in that is part of The Bronx technically on the island of Manhattan). Well,
I do walk a lot … maybe the guys in tight pants mostly ride the subway
Victor Barry
Silly looking.
Jim DelRae
Looks like plummers crack to me..
David Kohn
Beer guts and plumbers cracks are really going to be the “in” thing now? If you need me, I’ll be over there with my dignity waiting on the rest of humanity to dig their heads out of their “butt cleavage ” ð??

Not complaining about the booty, but those clothes are hideous.

@Miguel Spatti: Because, unlike women, men already routinely get to go shirtless. It’s a double standard that continues to baffle me.

Finally!

When this happens on accident, it can be really cute, charming, even sexy. This is contrived. Therefore, it fails to meet the superiority of the aforementioned.
SportGuy
This is incredibly stupid. On someone with a great body, it may be ok, but still ridiculous in my opionion, on someone average or out of shape it would just be gross. So lets just say no to all of it.
Jason Baker
No.
Kal Andrews
*yawn*
Dustin Madsen
shaved or hairy, which will be the “in” look? Lmao, this is beyond lame.

SIDENOTE: Petro Androde hosted an examination of male models on Fusion titled: Unglamorous (the naked truth about male models). The show mostly followed this guy from Georgia who is a model (Cameron). Cameron referred to this big opportunity to be on the cover of Vogue Italy in a group shot but, the down side is that he wasn’t paid for the shoot. Cameron detailed how modeling agencies front some models living expenses against future earnings but this ended up with Cameron having no money and being “in debt around the world”. Although the show ends on a downer, it appears that the model Cameron is still modeling and is doing “well” (as far as male modeling goes). So,
Even more hideous that these clothes, the models forced to wear them may not have even been paid.

This is all so bad I can’t stop myself from coming back to read others’ comments. Just truly awful clothes. Even Japanese high fashion isn’t this wackadoodle.
I guess if a guy stupid enough to buy and wear this Sibling trash meets up with an equally stupid guy wearing any of Rick Owens’ most recent trash, they might have quite a good time.
Remember?

You have to be very young and VERY cute to pull this off.

@MarionPaige:
Do you mean Vogue Italia or L’Uomo Vogue? Isn’t Vogue Italy a hot new club in the Bronx that doesn’t allow snobbish Manhattanites?
Jerie Ragsac
no thanks. my butt hair is temperature sensitive.

They think they needed to make special clothes to achieve this??

Interesting. I think Justin Bieber would look awesome fitted, in pieces, into several garbage bags thrown into a ditch.

Let’s not. Pretty trashy to wear in public if it’s not a pride parade etc. Keep this “trend” in the gay venues where it belongs.
