Hey Sexy Legs

So many good things come out of Scotland seem to fly quite low under the radar. Perhaps it's just the Scottish way to not shout your talents from the rooftop, but whatever the reason it means many of our talented graduates are eclipsed by their Central St Martins cousins. I intend, time allowing, to try and share more Scottish talent here, unearthing some real gems to share with the world.

To begin with let me show you the wonderful hosiery label Bebaroque, which started in July 2007 by Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience. Both girls attended Glasgow School of Art in 2005 before going their seperate ways, only to join together to create these fabulous tights.

The tights are designed and manufactured in Scotland using hand embroidery and print. They remind me of a much more skillful version of the doodles I used to do on my own tights with a permanent marker when I was a teenager.

The black and blue ones above are simply beyond stunning. They take leg adornment to a whole new level, with their beautiful embellishment and hand finished details. I am going to get me to CheCamille, post LFW, to see if I can snap some up. Infact, pennies allowing, I might just get me some before then as these would be divine for traipsing around London in.

Wow these are beautiful!The clotheshorse did a DIY project which were quiet similar to the peacock feathers by drawing on a pair of tights.But I love the fact that these have jewels and everything. Fabulous! :)

Those are amazing. I want them all!

Those black and blue ones are fantastic. Damn, can't copy those bad boys easily!!

The Clothes Horse must hear about this! I love those tights!

love these! i guess these bebaroque versions are for those of us who are not as talented as the clothes horse :)

here's the link to the clothes horse's DIY goodies:

I wish I could buy the peacock ones- they're so beautiful.

Wow these are really interesting. It's like having a beautiful and subtle tattoo which you can change with your mood. Great find!

hello Queen Michelle,
i read your blog everyday and i love your style and the gorgeous discovery you share. this tights are just sublime, especially the "The Pretty Peacock"!!!
p.s.: sorry for my english...

If you go, you must convince them to sell them online. I know I would love several pairs!

Luv

Poochie,
You can buy them online at http://www.bebaroque.co.uk

How gorgeous! Sadly all of their designs go right up the leg and I'm a knee length skirt wearer - some things are better left to the imagination! - I'm very tempted by them nonetheless, they are stunning.

Good work alerting us Londoners to the Scottish talent - I'll watch with interest :)

Buying some. Enough said.
