It seems this 'trend' was not as transient as most believed it would be, making more than one appearance in the 2008/2009 shows, including Phi, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Max Azria, Giorgio Armani, and Diane Von Furstenberg (to name a few), each giving their own 'stamp' to this 'look':

I must point out that I definitely would NOT even contemplate attempting to pull off the 'drop-crotch' look, cool on some, just so not 'me'. Once I get a better idea on how to take better pictures I will attempt an outfit shot. I'd love to read your thoughts on 'drapey/harem' pants (not necessarily the drop-crotch ones)!
