Cut from smooth stretch fabric (80% polyamide & 20% elastane) and having an elasticated high-rise waist, the leggings pants feature numerous colorful patterns, referencing well-known operas and ballets. As a true dance and opera enthusiast, it is not surprising to find these references in Gianni’s work.
During the fashion show, we could admire Linda Evangelista wearing a fantastic embroidered mini dress (see pictures 15 & 16) with the same “Salomé” or “Turandot” patterns as the leggings. The same dress was also part of the ad campaign shot by Herb Ritts that year (see pictures 17 & 18).
Unlined, the leggings are labeled an Italian size 42 (US 6 / UK 10 / FR 38) and run a little bit small to size.
Truly a collectible and standout piece ! Wear it with your favourite sports bra or a simple men-like shirt.
Fits approx. : US 4-6 / UK 8-10 / FR 36-38 / IT 40-42
