Recently I have noticed a trend for laddered tights. Infact I have started noticing a lot of ladders in various garments, which I’m really liking at the mo.
Kate Moss has laddered tights in her new Topshop ads, which looks edgy and sexy even though it looks as if she hasn’t been home yet, although as its Kate its always cool.
Outside LFW we noticed a couple of ladies with laddered tights looking lovely.
I know they aren’t really ladders (that could be the inspiration?) but I’m loving these Rad Hourani leggings.
Laddered tights could have started as an accidental trend or maybe the credit crunch is hitting people very hard at the moment, either way I think it is quite the sexy stop out look, and I think it will grow on people (literally). Either way I have already laddered mine, although I decided to ladder them into a pattern so they look more like stripes.
Laddering also seems quite popular in knitwear at the moment too. Topshop has quite a few laderry (apologies for my made up words) jumpers. Also as you’ve also probably noticed on the High St, there are lots of Madonna style and print clothing available, this is to do with Madonna releasing her Greatest Hits, celebration CD and DVDs. After seeing Louise Goldins S/S 10 collection I couldn’t help draw comparisons over those pointy boobs.
And as we are talking about tights and bras I had to upload this image of Agent Provocateurs new windows. We are loving the forceful powerful image of lingerie they portray.

I used a hook tool from my knit machine, but you could use a crotchet hook or even a paperclip to catch an individual stitch right at the top of the tights (so you don't see the hole), then i just ripped the stitch out (you could cut it though) and pulled. Do it when you have the tights on so you can push the ladder down your leg or to the desired length. Upload an image or send me a link if you get good results. Good luck and Keep it Clean. Loz xx
