‘Les’ Note

>> This is sort of an inconsequential post and should really be tweeted as opposed to blogged but having been to Topshop Oxford Circus and SQUEALING at the sight of a pair of leggings, I thought I better spread the excitement about and burn off this ecstatic energy I have.  I knew French label Les Heal (formerly known as Heal – legal issues perhaps causing the name change?) were coming into Topshop's EMERGE section (formerly known as Topshop Edit – seems we're all about name changes here… can I be Susie Sangria formerly known as Susie Bubble?).  I just didn't know that they'd be reproducing the best pieces of Heal's A/W 09-10 collection, the one that caught my eye – such as a renewed navy (I promise it is navy, it's just very dark in the pic…) version of this 'Stereomatic' dress/jacket that I have here in grey jersey…

AND… adding a pair of grey jersey panelled leggings to get some Stereomatic action going on in the bottom half…

Hmmm… do I go ALL THE WAY into Stereomatic haven and don the jacket AND these leggings and go out, trying not to be mistaken for some sort of interpretative dancer (don't know why I'm associating head to toe panelled grey jersey with modern dance…)…?  Or do I just hold back and be happy with my Stereomatic upper half?

**EDIT** I hear y'all on the camel toe issue.  But then I receive these images from the peeps at Les Heal and damn, I spy a matching grey jersey hoodie, a looser upper half option to compliment the leggings… Oh and I saw the leggings on someone in the flesh today and the camel toe doesn't seem to appear.  Hmmm… in any case, I'm might glad that they have have appeared on Topshop's shop floor…

On a non-legging, non-camel-toe note, their gorilla-esque navy alpaca wool coat presents itself as a the fluffiest bathmat coat option… one that is veering on looking like one of those shaggy rugs in chalets where some sweet-sweet love making gets underway.  Not sure which floor covering association is better really…?

  2. For most people I’d say pick one or the other, but you’re Susie Bubble (oops… I mean, Susie Sangria) so just freakin’ go for it.

  6. Haha I’d go for a dancing Sangria because you deserve it.
    PS: have you put your fingers on the “gorilla coat”? If so, how does it look like IRL?

  7. Susie: I love you but even the mannequin has camel toe. Wear a long shirt.

  24. Will these be available online at all? Really want the leggings and one of the jackets, can’t decide which right now. Or are they only in the store? I keep hoping Topshop will expand to the USA West Coast!
