The Tights and Underwear Defining London Fashion Week
London Fashion Week has long been a stage for bold statements, fresh talent, and reimagined classics. This season, Heist Studios was proud to see our tights, hosiery, underwear, and seamless essentials woven into the narratives of designers pushing British fashion forward. From the ethereal elegance of Dreaming Eli to the rebellious energy of Natasha Zinko, our pieces became the quiet foundation of some of the most memorable looks on the runway.
What connects these designers is a creative spirit. Each used Heist as a canvas - a base of seamless tights, refined underwear, and lace details - to amplify their own vision. Whether in playful nods to ‘90s nightlife, romantic explorations of femininity, or sharply tailored silhouettes, our hosiery and underwear proved their place not just as foundations, but as statements in themselves.
Dreaming Eli
Dreaming Eli brought a dreamlike quality to the season, with lace, draping, and romantic silhouettes exploring femininity in all its forms. Heist tights and underwear played perfectly into this ethereal vision, blending lace and seamless design into garments that felt both powerful and delicate.
Pieces that stood out:
- The Fine Line - sheer tights that added a sensual edge, reimagining traditional hosiery through a contemporary lens.
- The Fifteen - sheer tights with flawless finish, heightening the fluidity of Eli’s garments.
- The Nude - understated hosiery allowing lace detailing to take centre stage.
This collection showcased the duality of Heist design: tights and underwear that can feel strong and empowering, yet still light as air.
Sinead Gorey
Few designers embody the pulse of London nightlife quite like Sinead Gorey. Her collection drew on the unapologetic energy of British club culture, infused with the irreverence of the ‘90s party girl. Against this backdrop, Heist hosiery provided both texture and intrigue.
Key pieces included:
- The Polka Dot in Vintage Ivory - sheer tights reimagined with playful lace-like spots, bringing a modern twist to retro hosiery.
- The Thirty-Five in Black - opaque tights with a seamless finish, adding depth and contrast to vibrant styling.
- The Anna Brief - underwear designed with a minimal silhouette, proving that strong foundations allow for fearless fashion.
Together, these pieces grounded Gorey’s vision, blending performance with statement-making style.
Edeline Lee
Edeline Lee is renowned for her meticulous tailoring, creating garments that speak to strength and refinement while never losing a sense of femininity. For her show, Heist’s seamless underwear became essential to her fluid silhouettes.
Highlighted pieces:
- The Smooth Scoop Neck Bralette - a seamless bralette that delivers invisible support beneath tailoring while remaining beautiful in its own right.
- The Smooth Hipster Brief - underwear designed to disappear under structured garments, allowing Lee’s sequins and textures to shine.
The collection demonstrated how seamless design isn’t just practical, it’s luxurious. In this context, Heist underwear underscored the sophistication of Lee’s tailoring without distraction.
Natasha Zinko
Natasha Zinko’s work is edgy, rebellious, and deeply British. This season, her pieces embraced cultural commentary while celebrating bold individuality. Our tights and underwear underpinned her looks, offering structure to otherwise unrestrained silhouettes.
Key products featured:
- The Thirty-Five - opaque tights that added graphic intensity to Zinko’s layered designs.
- The Nude - seamless tights in barely-there shades, a foundation for freedom of expression.
- The Fifteen - sheer hosiery offering both delicacy and strength, complementing Zinko’s aesthetic tension.
In Zinko’s hands, Heist hosiery moved beyond function, becoming a crucial layer in telling her story of modern British fashion.
Ray Chu
Ray Chu is known for precise tailoring and bold use of colour, and this season was no exception. His exploration of strength and sensuality was paired with Heist underwear that offered both structure and softness.
Key items included:
- The Bridget Triangle Bralette - sharp lines softened by Heist’s seamless innovation and lace underwear.
- The Bridget Bodysuit - underwear elevated to a statement piece, moving confidently between structure and fluidity.
- The Anna Triangle Bralette - minimal yet refined, proving the power of simplicity.
Here, Heist underwear wasn’t just an invisible layer, it became integral to the silhouette itself, celebrating both the body and the garment.
Heist Studios at the Heart of LFW
This season at London Fashion Week underscored why tights, hosiery, lace, and underwear are never just accessories. In the hands of visionary designers, they became the foundation of stories about culture, femininity, rebellion, and beauty.
At Heist Studios, we believe in reimagining essentials with equal parts performance and style. From seamless tights that disappear under tailoring, to lace hosiery that commands attention, our pieces are designed to empower individuality.
The collections of Sinead Gorey, Edeline Lee, Natasha Zinko, Dreaming Eli, and Ray Chu all proved the same truth: when foundations are strong, creativity knows no bounds.
