“For these sheer stockings, I took inspiration from an image — sheer chiffon couturier boots, heavily embroidered, black on black, accented with sparkly beads — and a word, pearls, evoking richness and opulence. Pearls do not sparkle; they glow. Hence, the socks, very vintage in feel, with lacings up the back instead of seam lines — heavily figured knitting with beads to add the richness and luminosity of the pearl.” — Lynette Meek
