Kate Torralba is a leg up on the competition
MANILA, Philippines - The collaboration between designer Kate Torralba and hosiery pioneer City Lady resulted in Leg Love, a colorful range of tights in lace and prints.
This season, the duo presents a new Leg Love collection dubbed Leg Candy, a series of rainbow, candy-colored stockings and leggings or footless tights in candy drops and crazy patterns and prints that are hard to resist.
Leg Candy has sheerer varieties compared to the opaque tights of the Leg Love collection. “The colored Leg Candy fishnet stockings and new patterns are fun additions to your existing Leg Love collection,” Kate Torralba says.
Available in electric lemonade, Gatorade pink, Kool-Aid purple, chartreuse and bold orange, Leg Candy’s footless tights also come in blazing yellow, jasmine green, orange, purple wine, and raspberry pink.
The key pieces for this line are the solid-colored opaque tights, textured stockings and the signature KT prints from the Leg Love collection. Torralba excitedly reveals, “The limited-edition prints were the first to run out from the last batch, which is interesting because you’d think that the Pinoy woman would shy away from the crazy prints!”
The Leg Candy stockings are still very KT — edgy, fun, and flirty. Torralba designed the stripe-y, punch-colored clothes around the Leg Candy collection. “I wanted to channel the current incarnation of Blondie’s Debbie Harry,” she shares. “There’s a big ‘80s influence, but made more wearable with the sheer variations.”
Leg Candy is available at SM Department Stores in North Edsa, Makati, Megamall, Southmall, Mall of Asia, and Cebu. Leg Candy is also available at Watsons Podium, Megamall, Market! Market!, Cebu, and at the Kate Torralba Store in Greenbelt 5, Makati.
