Lace and crochet

How to wear the sexiest and most precious fabric ever

New perspectives on lace are found by playing with different weaves and by mixing it with covering and contrasting fabrics. Crochet and macramé, transparencies and embroidery are the top of elegance for important events. A true proof of this are the pictures of Amal Clooney, elegantly and flawlessly wearing her yellow Jonathan Simkhai. Laces have crossed the border of etiquette to blend with casual looks and, to the right extent, with formal and office looks. Like the baby-doll style satin tops by Victoria Beckham, which give that feminine touch when worn under a simple blazer or with menswear-inspired trousers. Stella McCartney gives Adidas sportswear a sexy touch by adding lace details to sweatshirts. The slip dresses by Burberry have a sexy lingerie-effect, as well as the total black by Dolce & Gabbana that proposes, as if in a neo-realist film, lace in waisted midi dresses, retro style blouses, and sock boots.
