There really isn't that many places leggings can go. Robo plated, metallic, wet-look, lace, embroidered, velvet devore, cut-outs, ripped, holographic, spandex, colour-blocked, all manner of graphic treatments. It isn't such a sad conclusion so much as an acceptance that standout leggings are pretty much the norm and in demand. Leggings only brands circulate around blogs in wave like motion and Costume Dept is no different.
The thing is though, since sequins, prints, holographic/metallics etc have been seen before, it sort of renders Costume Dept's A/W 09 collection a little on the safe side. I'm more interested in this other elements of this expanded collection such as...
... the fringed hoodie...
... the matt black sequins that they used for the detailing on these shirts for guys and gals...
...even the yen, dollar, pound = YSL sign shirt that no doubt will get backordered to death...
But then I get walloped with these embroidered mesh beauties and it was Sister Wolf who flagged them up to me. I can't quite see whether the tufts of material is a bit of tulle, chiffon or erm pom pom material... all I know is I see legs that need to be peeking out under a short dress or skirt... (as much as I want to artfully pose naked and cover my non-existent cleavage...).
