Part of the company’s cinema-themed limited edition collection, the main pattern of these Italian-made, vintage-inspired Trasparenze Malle Backseam Hold Ups criss-crosses the legs with lines linked by small hearts dotted at every intersection, and divided neatly by a back seam trailing down from a deep, ‘V’-shaped top. These matte semi-opaque thigh highs are a 40 denier weave, and, like the French auteur director that they are named for, are arty and perhaps a touch provocative. The hold ups are held by a clingy silicone band system, making them infinitely more practical than suspender-reliant stockings.
