Saggy pants are butt-ugly but legal: judge

You have the right to look ridiculous. A Bronx judge has thrown out a summons issued against a Bronx man for wearing saggy pants, finding that "the Constitution still leaves some opportunity for people to be foolish if they so desire." Judge Ruben Franco said that although Julio Martinez may have offended the fashion police with his low-hanging and underwear-exposing pants, his manner of dress didn't deserve a ticket from a cop. "While most of us may consider it distasteful, and indeed foolish, to wear one's pants so low as to expose the underwear . . . people can dress as they please, wear anything, so long as they do not offend public order and decency," the judge wrote. - DAREH GREGORIAN, NY Post

In a fashion-meets-rock-god moment, Madonna will launch her Material Girl teen clothing line with Macy’s on Aug. 3, but instead of crowning herself the next Queen of Fashion, Madonna is offering her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes “Lola” Leon, for sartorial christening. “She’s 100 percent the creative force of Material Girl,” Lourdes’ father, Carlos Leon, tells The Post. “She knew exactly what she wanted. She’s a trendsetter that draws from all different things to put together a look. She’s into different cultures and brings that into her style.” -CARRIE SEIM, NY Post
