Cashmere leggings

[helena]

Does anyone know where I can get cashmere leggings - I am in the UK...? Black or grey.

That sounds so hard, cashmeres are so expensive... I don't think many people are willing to wear them as pants/leggins.... I tried to find them a month ago, ended up with wool.

 

[helena]

where did you get the wool ones? wool might work/be preferable anyway as it tends to bobble less

helena, I have been hearing a name called E+J recently.
they seem to make cashmere leggings.
it's relatively new and I don't know well about it.
but it reminded me a bit of kristensen du nord, but maybe not as quiet as kdn.
available at browns, doverstreetmarket.
or colette etc

THE CASHMERE COUPLE

FOR a duo that describe themselves as "style crazed women", hot new cashmere designers Emanuela Calvi and Jane Cattani have conversely created a collection which aims to complement any style, rather than inflicting it's own. E+J cashmere will be unveiled during Paris Fashion Week, although having been snapped up by Browns, Barneys and Colette prior to their debut, this "capsule" collection can already boast impressive status. The success of the "luxurious, lightweight cashmere" lies in its basic 'concept' - simplicity, and therefore variability. Jackets, sweaters, leggings, skirts, dresses and tops come in an unembellished colour range of black, fawn and charcoal grey, to allow for "a complete flexible wardrobe". Alleviating too much variety and detail means these are "ideal knit pieces that merge into the way women dress every day". However, like all timeless fashion staples, Calvi and Cattani have had to be incredibly "picky about necklines, sleeve-length, how skinny the body should be, and where the shoulder should sit". With a combined history in architecture, photography, modelling, editing and styling, there is no doubt these two make a dynamic pair with a natural affinity for shape and style, and their collection is sure to become every girl's fashion favourite. E&J Cashmere will be presented in Paris from October 2 to 12. For more information email [email protected]. (September 14 2006, AM)

helena- i got some from marc jacobs' fall collection---so maybe you can find them somewhere that sells MJ?

maybe call the new MJ store in london?


they are incredibly soft and warm even though they are very thin and should be on sale by now...

 

[helena]

thanks runner...I might email these E&J people.

softgrey - what are they like - do you have a picture? what colour? if they are from fall will they not be sold out by now?

want them as I have a long flight coming up soon and want sth nice and chic but also really warm and comfortable.

 

[softgrey]

no- i don't have a pic...
but they are leggings...
you know...they all look basically the same...
these are on the long-ish side and mine are olive green/concrete colour---
they are probably sold out by now but maybe they have another version or something...

but who knows there may be a stray pair on sale...

 

[helena]

thanks....there are nice missoni ones on the net a porter website but they are all in x small and so I think would be too small for me....unless they are really stretchy.

 

[luckyme]

keep an eye on yoox because I got a great pair last year by martin margiela on sale.

 

[helena]

i checked on yoox - are they listed under knitwear?
