# Exhibionist Couture See-Through Garments Leave Too Little to the Imagination By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-12-17 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extreme-see-through-fashion-exhibionist-garments-leave-nothing-to-the-imagi References: [trenddelacreme](http://www.trenddelacreme.com/2008/12/love-me-love-my-visible-panty-line.html) Fashion designers seem to be moving in the direction of parading their models down the catwalk completely naked. This trend is not new, but the fad has caught on and we’ve seen how the peekaboo style move from the catwalks to the sidewalks. It's also been spotted on the red carpet where celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Teri Hatcher and Gwyneth Paltrow have flaunted their knickers to the world. However, the difference between the featured risque and naughty [see-through collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-lace) and others featured on Trend Hunter, is that some of the models in the gallery are wearing [thongs and bikini panties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-off-brief-skirt) instead of the regular knickers you usually see underneath wardrobes. Meanwhile, Sonia Rykiel’s creation, where the model is wearing a very tiny and provocative black thong underneath the [thin chiffon and lace attire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova), is my favorite of them all. In conclusion, the gowns displayed in the gallery are representative, for the most part, of the Spring ‘09 collections of haute couture giants such Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, John Galliano, Roberto Cavalli, Betty Jackson, Temperley London and Sonia Rykiel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **See-through Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of alternative materials and technologies to create innovative see-through garments. - **Peekaboo Style:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique design elements and techniques to create fashionable yet tasteful peekaboo style outfits. - **Provocative Lingerie:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine lingerie and couture to create provocative yet elegant designs for the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize 3D printing and sustainable fabrics to revolutionize the fashion industry. - **Lingerie:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and smart fabrics into lingerie designs to offer comfort and functionality. - **Haute Couture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unconventional materials and unconventional techniques to push the boundaries of haute couture fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md)
