School Overseas Targets Sagging Pants
Sagging pants might be an issue in some parts of the U.S., but others across the world are jumping on the bandwagon as well.
The latest place to try to minister fashion standards on the youth is a school in Stockholm, Sweden, who recently mailed out letters to parents demanding that students pull up their pants.
At stermalmsskolan, a school in one of Stockholm's most exclusive neighborhoods declared that displaying rear cleavage as a result of low sagging pants is out of order.
"Lots of people think hanging pants don't look nice, and this is actually the children's place of work. It's not terribly hygienic either," Agneta Zetterstrm, headmistress at the school, to local paper stermalmsnytt.
Despite the schools' concerns, some parents don't feel the issue is important.

Bridgeport students turn shopping bags into fashion statements
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. --Sione Hardison, 16, a fashion major at Bullard-Havens Technical High School, can probably design clothing in her sleep. But using paper bags for the material that was a challenge that called on teamwork and a lot of creativity. The result -- a little outfit Hardison and teammates called "hood and lace" -- was one of 10 creations students fashioned last week out of Lord & Taylor shopping bags. Part of a competition sponsored by the upscale department store, the outfits will be shipped to the Stamford Lord & Taylor to go on display with other entries from about a half-dozen high schools in the region that have fashion programs. Some of the outfits students from Bullard-Havens designed consist of nothing but shopping bags that have been scored, pleated, braided, woven and cut to look like something any model would be proud to wear.
