For those of you who may not remember leggings the first go round in the 80s, let us old timers refresh your memory. They were built for speed - none of this flimsy garbage that ends up around your knees after walking a few feet. Or stretched so tight, the spandex in the knit shows through in shiny waves. Legging waistbands were meant to be seen back in the old days, we tucked - yes tucked - our tight turtlenecks into the top and wore the same big belt you think is so original now. We had ankle boots too, with little heels, and we had good bodies then as well. You didn't invent exercise, you know? And the king of all legkings was Azzedine Alaia for whom all cheap copies were made. Bow before the great Alaia and his flawless pants because there is nothing nothing nothing in the modern world that compares to how well made and how good these are. Black cotton polyamide velvet short pants to the knee with a HIGH ribbed velvet waistband. Excellent, original and better than all. An Alaia XS, which translates to a modern 4 (as in Italian 36 not a Marc Jacobs 4) at most, with a 16" rise and 14" inseam, Flawless, unworn condition. $180.00 |
