Legs are back in the fashion spotlight next winter in no uncertain terms. Thus hold-ups, garter belts and Parisian stockings rewrite the history of lingerie.

If we have to underline a detail of the most popular fashion looks of this period, we undoubtedly choose the fascinating hold-ups with matching garter belts. Women's legs, are forcefully back in the spotlight. The catwalks demonstrate it and the aesthetics of showbiz too. From <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/music/sanremo-2024-winner-who-is-angelina-mango" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sanremo</a> onwards, sheer pantyhose, Parisian tights and stockings with garter belts define a newfound degree of sensuality with which to express oneself.

In the 5 hectic days of the Italian song festival Annalisa literally hypnotized us with the series of looks, curated by stylist Susanna Ausoni together with <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/dolce-gabbana-autumn-winter-show-mfw-2024-25-photos-images-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dolce&amp;Gabbana</a>, accompanied with measured malice by just the right amount of sheer hold-ups and garter belts. The references are endless and unlock a range of iconic images where the legs in the foreground, dressed only in impalpable nylon, bring into focus an imagery that has been left in the shadows for too long. From Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel by Josef Von Sternberg from 1930 to Carabet from 1972 by Bob Fosse with Liza Minnelli in culottes, garter belts and sheer nylon pantyhose; and what about Sophia Loren's explosive strip-tease sequence in Vittorio De Sica's Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow ? A clear thought: sexy legs are (finally) back in fashion.

Situationism of the late sixties and alluring seduction of the seventies, <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/dior-maria-grazia-chiuri-miss-dior-autumn-winter-2024-paris-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maria Grazia Chiuri for Dior</a> and Victoria Beckham celebrate the legs using stay-up stockings and stockings with garter belt to complete the overall vision of the collection items. The tights are there and must be seen, possibly having to sacrifice part of the total look. Giuliano Calza for GCDS chooses sheer black and red stockings to define the silhouette and does not leave out any detail related to the tights: recognizable signs such as the ring of a hypothetical hold-up, the vertical line on the back as in the 40s and 50s. Antony Vaccarello in the tunnel of transparencies for <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/celebrities-seen-at-the-saint-laurent-autumn-winter-2024-25-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saint Laurent</a> also uses tights and Lycra to "dress" his legs: thus the turtleneck lends itself to a new function, that of an unusual garter belt.

Real or presumed, garter belts rightfully enter the outdoor wardrobe, out of the lingerie drawer, heading to the oversized skirts and sweaters department. The layering effect, as well as the apparent belt effect, convey non-verbal references full of sensuality. <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/moschino-autumn-winter-2024-25-collection-milan-fashion-week-photo-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adrian Appiolaza</a> in Collezione 0 offers a representation printed on silk satin in full Moschino ironic register. Francesca Murri for Fiorucci, in recovering the static and dilated narrative of the photo novel format, reintroduces the garter belt over the rest of the looks.

Finally there are the Parisian socks, soft and ribbed, to be worn visible under high boots in the boho-chic idea reiterated by <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/chloe-chemena-kamali-s-debut-autumn-winter-2024-collection-pfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chemena Kamali for Chlo&eacute;.</a> And there are also hold-up boots, elastic and enveloping, to look at in view of the next winter season. And if <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/balenciaga-autumn-winter-2024-25-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balenciaga</a> recovers the concept of over-the-knee sock boots from the late '90s, Ib Kamara with Off-White thinks of hybrids between mesh, mesh and sporty-college ribs. New emancipatory statements revealed.
