Lady Lovelace — Our Favorite Lace-Trimmed Fashions of the Season!
Coco Chanel once said, “I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.” This season, designer’s seem to have taken heed of Chanel’s words, incorporating loads of lace into their garments and accessories. Some have opted for dainty and prim frocks that evoke a Parisian princess charm; others have explored the more provocative, boudoir-ready quality of lace by combining the fabric with leather or playing with its sheerness for a bit of flesh-revealing teasing; and some have even infused a bold and urban attitude into their designs by using neon color schemes or edgy silhouettes. And the fascination with lace isn’t limited to clothing — pumps, thong sandals, espadrilles, clutches, totes, laptop sleeves, booties, and even necklaces and cuffs nod to the crocheted, knitted, bobbin, needle, and cutwork techniques that have been perfected since the emergence of lace in the 16th century.
