Knee-high compression socks: From international runways to our everyday lives!
The fresh approach to fashion shows presents dynamic girls, full of style, vibrancy, and energy at any time of day! The hottest item dominating most catwalks is graduated compression stockings, sending the message that taking care of our body is... a trend! It's time to learn more about the new trend that aims to make our lives easier!
In her second, more personal collection for the Miu Miu line, Prada, recalling the baby boomers of the 80s and the collegiate style of university sororities, chose knee-high compression stockings for her models, combined with plaid capes, sleeveless sweaters, or short-sleeved polos with strict collars and ribbons in their hair, presenting disciplined young women, determined to succeed in whatever they set their minds to!
The design duo of Carol Lim and Humberto Leon for Kenzo, respectively, for the Spring/Summer 2018 collection, were inspired by lively, pop, futuristic images of daring and fun girls dressed in sportswear, strong graphic prints, vinyl materials, waves, stripes, paisley daisies, always combined with brightly colored striped compression stockings. The stockings seem like a "smart" accessory of the future, which we are fortunate to have available to us now.
The trend is so timely and important that Prada adopted the stockings in her next Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2019 collection for Miu Miu at Paris Fashion Week. This time, her models wear elegant transparent black knee-high graduated compression stockings with cocktail evening dresses, elaborate blazers, leather python skirts, and classic plaid jackets, proving that the possibilities for combinations are endless. The it-girl Kaia Gerber once again stole the show, wearing only the characteristic trend with high heels and a striking black jacket with a rose on her bare legs.
Even more so, if we dedicate time to our favorite athletic activities, we equally need compression technology to regulate blood flow in our body, keeping our energy and performance high! That's why Christou1910 has also designed a specialized range of graduated compression sports socks.
Whether we're training for our daily run and the next best marathon, crossing swords in fencing, feeling the tension by clenching our legs in an equestrian race, or gracefully stretching our legs on our toes in ballet class, in any case, we need our socks!
Obstacles such as cramps, muscle fatigue, swelling, and of course pain should not hold us back! Wearing the socks for the first time, we might feel pressure during application. However, giving our body time, we will feel the multiple benefits of compression! The socks have the property of exerting greater pressure on the ankle, which gradually decreases up to the knee, fighting gravity, sending blood back, and thus supplying our tired muscles with more oxygen. Sport design is combined with high-performance materials and color contrasts. Their special weave allows the skin to "breathe" with special ventilation channels, while innovative CoolMax fibers regulate temperature and humidity levels and keep the foot dry.
Fashion, in one of its rare instances, creates a trend in the service of our body! Thus, compression stockings are not only beneficial but also super cool! Worn with Vans and collegiate pleated skirts, with our leather shorts, or even with a funky, colorful dress and sneakers, they manage to make us more stylish and active than ever!
That's why on your next shopping spree, don't hesitate to first visit your nearest supermarket (see the list here) to get the hottest item of the season from the Christou1910 health corner stand in the cosmetics section and incorporate it into your style experiments!
The trend on the runways of the biggest fashion houses
Miuccia Prada, for her Spring/Summer 2018 collection, was inspired by a show that would empower women, creating the image of a modern "militarist woman but in a very practical way," wanting, even through a sartorial role, "to change the world, as there is still so much against us." A woman "active and present today," as a source of inspiration, naturally chooses comfort and does not hesitate to incorporate elements that care for her body into a stylish ensemble. Thus, we see that the element that appropriately frames modern urban silhouettes is knee-high compression stockings. In daring neon colors and graphic prints, they are imaginatively combined with everything from our classic oxford shoes to pointed patent leather ballet flats and our unique sneakers.

From the runway to our daily lives
As much as we like to see designer creations, we don't have to... dream of comfort for our legs from afar! Healthy, sculpted legs with proper circulation are not the sole privilege of models on the catwalks. Fortunately for us, the trend proposed by designers this time is accessible to everyone and aesthetically coincides with the graduated compression stockings from Christou1910. Christou1910, with the primary goal of improving quality of life and comfort in every movement, has created a protective health accessory that respects and cares for our body, marrying expertise with high design. For this purpose, the showcasing of our body in its best form and physical condition was captured by the lens of the acclaimed fashion photographer Thanassis Krikis, capturing the wonderful movement of the dancer of the Greek National Opera, Margarita Kostoglou. The photoshoot reminds us that movement has the power to "move" us, which is why it is so important to take care of our body.
The benefits of compression technology
Compression stockings are an essential item in our wardrobe for many reasons. Our feet, bearing the entire weight of our body daily, are particularly strained. If we add the fact that for many hours of the day we live a sedentary life, neglecting proper posture and impeding normal blood circulation, the result is tired and swollen legs that succumb to the laws of gravity. That's why we need a unique accessory that cares for our limbs and makes us feel proud after a tiring day, a long journey, and a long period of inactivity.
