Bebaroque's Russian Dolls

This season Bebaroque’s Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience have taken their designs to a whole other level focusing on fairy tale imagery and Russian textiles. Their new collection, entitled “Russian Dolls”, features Bebaroque’s exquisite hosiery and also the body suit. Russian folktales are often characterised by dark and mysterious atmospheres and the duo used them as the main inspirations for their elaborate prints and ornate motifs, the latter created by applying ruches, studs and gems to both their hosiery and body pieces. Gold and silver studs form swirling patterns on black hosiery, bright red bows decorate the ankles of the very aptly named “Babooshka” tights, while Russian architecture appears in the onion dome-like motifs embroidered on one of the body suits that call to mind Moscow’s Saint Basil’s Cathedral. “We wanted to tell a story of the transformation from sweet and fresh to dark and gothic enchantment,” Chloe explains, “so for our body wear we used sheer mesh in skin colour and black and thick black jersey with satin edging, and featured quirky tattoo-inspired prints and thickly elaborate and luxurious embroidered motifs.”
