"Subject: Japanese Fashion Craze: Imitation See-Through Skirts!
...
Another Crazy Fashion from Japan
What you see below are not see-thru skirts. They are actually
prints on the skirts to make it look as if the panties are visible
and the current rage in Japan. "
"This is latest fashion craze in Japan? I don't buy it, and not
just because I couldn't find a single legitimate press report
verifying the claim. These images show definite signs of being
Photoshopped.

For starters, in every one of the photos the contours of the
"imitation" legs and panties match the poses of the models exactly,
which shouldn't be the case if they're printed on the surfaces of
the skirts. What we see instead are passable representations of
what it might look like if the clothing were really
transparent.
Secondly, whoever manipulated the images made subtle errors, most
notably in Photo #5, where, when the image is enlarged, lines and
shadows belonging to the superimposed legs and panties cut visibly
across the model's purse straps (see detail at right). All the
examples, examined closely, give the impression that the panty
images were overlayed directly onto the photographs, not imprinted
on the clothing.
Japanese fashion designers do have a reputation for cutting-edge
even wacky, at times ideas, but ersatz see-through clothing isn't
one of them. Yet. "
