lace, lace, baby.

Lace. Elegant, seductive and acutely feminine.   

The Pre Fall and Couture 2013 collections explored lace's ultimate elegance with a discernment for it's sexy, edgy side. Sheer lace and cutouts were seen from Michael Kors to Emilio Pucci to Valentino and back to Elie Saab; the playfulness between the alluring flashes of skin beneath the luxuriously intricate and traditional craftsmanship provided a feminine strength perhaps not typically associated with one's idea of lace.

Of course, the daring runway presentations will be mostly reinterpreted for the non-red-carpet-super-hero elite, with solid linings shielding unwitting citizens from the provocative bare flesh. Even Jennifer Lopez lined those infamous legs in her recent Golden Globe Elie Saab dress ... and it still harmonized with it's original, sexy runway version.

I am waiting in quiet impatience for the Fall 2013 collections in the coming weeks. Hopefully, there'll be more lace.

... till then,

Mel
