       Hello, I am having candy and wine for dinner, ask me anything about fashion, art history, or obscure gay shit like ‘How do I get Stephen Sondheim’s favorite of his songs, ‘someone in a tree’ from his ill considered 1976 show ‘pacific overtures’ out of my head after encountering it in his 90th birthday concert?’ (The last one has no answer)

       @ItsJenNotGabby racked has a great history of the thong but the short (and weird!) answer is that they exploded into consciousness via Monica Lewinsky being noted as wearing them in the Starr report, which moved them from being the domain of fredericks of Hollywood’s to ‘what nice girls wear to be naughty’ https://www.racked.com/2017/2/20/14540906/thong-history

       @MoMartin YESSSSSS-are those the ones I designed??? In women’s wear it comes and goes depending on season, trend and age group, but I’m assuming you mean mens wear specifically and that is partly the great male renunciation in the late 18th century, and (in America especially) ideas of race & what is masculine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Male_Renunciation Basically, with the rise of republicanism (and tbh women adopting garments that were traditionally male like riding habits) all ornamentation was sworn off
