Mariah sets a trend
We never thought we'd see the day, but it seems Mariah Carey - the same Mariah Carey who brought us such dubious style statements as skintight minidresses, shaggy blonde perms and belly jewellery - is the woman behind this spring's most trendy trend. Waistless jeans have been spotted on many a flat-bellied miss eager to show off the fruits of her early May sunbed sessions. Waistless jeans, I hear you query? What foolish new term must be added to the fashion lexicon next? And how can jeans not have a waist? Easy, with a little help from your scissors. Waistless jeans start at the hips: waistband, belt loops and top button are brazenly sawn off to achieve that low-slung effect so beloved of the brown tummy brigade. The jeans (faded old ones look best) are worn skintight so they can't fall down: belts (thin, diamanté) are slung snake-like round the hips and left to dangle. All Saints, Kylie and Gisele have recently been seen sporting the look (well, they wouldn't they?) but, as with most super-fashionable trends, it's not quite as easy for the rest of us to pull off.
