Who invented low-rise jeans/pants for women?

Question

Does the inventor/designer of low-rise jeans and pants know how inconvenient these jeans and pants are for women who do not like this style and are forced to try and find jeans that fit properly?

Answer 1

Well here's the history of the low-rise jeans. Though nobody knows really who's the inventor. It's like asking who invented the tank top. Maybe a brief history about it will give you a better picture on where it came from.
History

Hip-huggers, the precursor to low rise jeans, rose to popularity during the late 1960s, with the ascendance of the hippie counterculture and psychedelic music. Often worn with light-cotton, paisley-printed tops or nehru-collared jackets, bell-bottomed hip huggers were popularized by rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Robert Plant. Later, hip-huggers became a staple of popular culture, as it was incorporated into the disco scene of the 1970s.

However, during the early 1980s, waistlines moved higher as wide, flared, bell-bottoms gradually gave way to designer straight-legged jeans. Throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s, as more women entered the corporate workforce, the high waist design remained predominant, with commercial designers such as Gloria Vanderbilt and Calvin Klein at the forefront.

Revival

The fashion of lowrise jeans reemerged in 2001, particularly among girls and boys between the age of 14 and 25. Although its popularity also increased among women and men of other ages, the major focus of advertising is still directed at teenage girls and boys, with typical teen stores selling lowrise jeans in different styles and colours. Most teenage and twenty something oriented retail stores that carry jeans (ie Guess, American Eagle, Hollister, Stitches) only or mostly carry low-rise jeans.

Currently, lowrise jeans are manufactured in many styles, and though tight jeans are usually the most popular, they also exist in loose, baggy, flare and destroyed style. Due to the popularity of lowrise jeans, manufacturers have also begun making lowrise styles of other kinds of pants. In the stores today, there is an immense variety available. Indeed, low-slung jeans, especially tight black styles, have become increasingly popular in the more recent emo scene.

Who Invented Jeans

Answer 3

That's the style that young women are into these days and if it makes these people money then they are not going to conform to what a few women want. That's just how our capitalist society works. I'm 20 years old and I personally like the mid-rise jeans just because every time I bend over I don't want to pull the back of my pants up.

For women who still feel they can shop in the juniors department: Sometimes I wish that women who are 30 and up would learn to shop in their own department and not the Juniors. You are no longer 21 so please act your age and stop trying to squeeze your butt into jeans that were meant for someone who is 10 plus years younger than you.
