Embrace A Little Lace
Every season there emerges one key piece that instantly becomes an editorial favorite. It appears in every magazine, in every photo spread and in every editor's "pick" of the season. Usually it's something by Balenciaga (Spring 2008 - Balenciaga's floral mini-dress; Fall 2007 - Balenciaga's lego shoe) but for Fall 2008, editors deemed Prada's lace as the must-have piece of the moment. Miuccia Prada sent enough lace down her Fall 2008 runways to prompt Style.com to predict that her emphasis on lace will have enough influence to "send the (lace) mills into frantic overdrive." Don't believe us? Take a peek at the August Elle, September Elle, almost every international Vogue for August and September....you get the picture.
For those a little afraid to try a lace skirt, top or dress this fall, we suggest you give your black tights a rest and try a pair of lace tights. They'll instantly update your wardrobe and show others you know how to master the trend without going overboard.
