The story of pants that have become cult
Who would have thought that pants designed for hitting the slopes would become a trendy piece for hitting the pavement? Because yes, the stirrup leggings were originally a garment intended for winter sports. It was born during the cold season of 1929-1930. Emile Allais, French skier, seeks to improve his performance in his discipline. He commissioned Armand Allard to create a unique, more practical piece. “The tailor was looking for a technical solution to hold the pants in the shoe. In the early morning, the idea of the elastic under the foot imposed itself. explains the AAllard house. Initially baptized “jumper pants”, the garment hugs the silhouette of the skier and blends in with his movements… So much so that once crowned world champion in 1937, Emile Allais associates this victory with his famous stirrup. The legend is born! In the 1970s, fashion designers appropriated creation. Still based in Megève, the AAllard house reveals a few secrets about these pants: “Never tight, always taut, the tapered waistband refines the silhouette and lengthens the legs. Contrary to preconceived ideas, it adapts to all morphologies when it is carried out according to the rules of the art. Part of its secret lies in its cut which hugs but does not cling”.
