Trends: Lace

Miuccia Prada revamped lace's musty image by creating surprisingly modern full-lace ensembles in brown, powder blue, nude, orange and of course black.The collection was shown back in February, but now we've seen the lace everywhere. In editorials, to the red carpet to high street versions. It seems like everyone has fallen in love with lace.

What starts on the runway, is advertised, then it appears in editorials, then it hits the red carpet.Charlize Theron showed us all how lace can be worn, and how fantastic it looks for those who had doubts.Tilda Swinton did not fair as well in her dress, which she wore to the Costume Institute Gala, in my opinion, as I think there were edgier pieces from this collection, which would have suited her style better.Campaign girl Linda Evangelista, opted to mix nude with black. As beautiful as Linda is, she struggled to pull it off. In fact I think anyone would struggle to pull this off, but kudos to her for trying.English actress Rebecca Hall opted for a very safe lace dress, which she wore to the Vicky Cristina Barcelona LA premiere with Prada peep-toes.We have not seen many celebs dare to try this trend, but I am sure we will see more after they have seen Charlize's spectacular results.This trend is not just for celebs. We can already find this trend in our stores.
