When Chloe Patience met Mhairi McNicol, the frumpy world of nylons didn’t know what it was in for. Bebaroque, the label the two kindred, vixen spirits launched while textile design students at the Glasgow School of Art, is on a mission to give hosiery back its mojo. Basic black tights they aren’t—the duo’s designs mix Chloe’s Art Nouveau-style prints with Mhairi’s (Gaelic, pronounced Vari) hand embroidery. The two have just won the Scottish Accessory Designer of the Year award, and are about to take their rock star-hued, sequin-studded, vintage-textile-inspired wares to shows in Paris and Tokyo, and then on to London fashion week before heading to NYC in November for the Dressed to Kilt event. Rod Stewart was
right—hot legs, indeed. Bebaroque is available in the U.S. at Brooklyn Fox Lingerie, (718) 599-1555. For more information, see www.bebaroque.co.uk.
