RealMedia: Kriss Kross


Trouser Madness

1992 was the year that Kriss Kross got to No. 2 in the UK charts with the catchy pop rap summer hit Jump!

The boys, who can't have been much older than 10 at the time, made a statement by wearing all their clothes back to front - except perhaps their shoes

What the statement meant wasn't all that obvious but it was hugely popular.

This was also the year in which Calvin Klein launched a hugely successful campaign that featured pop-star turned model Mark Wahlberg, wearing CK underwear with incredibly low-slung jeans. A look that even today remains popular particularly in the hip hop world.
