Although non-models can look like they’ve been diapered when they wear them, the drop-crotch pants that were seen on almost all of the catwalks during Berlin fashion week’s official first day actually looked startlingly irreverent and cool in the menswear label Q.E.D.’s winning collection at the Karstadt New Generation Award show. Mongels in Common was the design team pegged to walk away with the prize, but despite showing an excellent, loose, and fluid women’s collection, they were overshadowed by the mostly black, techno geek-inspired clothes Q.E.D.’s Julia Böge, Simona Gabrieli, and Jasmin Moallim sent down the runway. The trio’s well-cut trousers, which flopped like long johns between the models’ thighs, are sure to spark frustration from clubgoers trying to check out one another’s assets on Berlin’s never-ending nightlife scene.
