Lace Never Goes Out of Style!

10/19/2016

The classics of fashion - lace, pearls, and denim - never go out of style. Well, at least in my opinion. As a textile designer I have been drawn to lace for a long time. Handmade lace requires incredible skill and patience. I definitely have respect for that. In my work I am always looking for innovative ways to incorporate the traditional or the classical and make it contemporary. My latest collection of textiles turned into infinity scarves looks just into that! 

Even a little swatch of lace can lead to great creative adventure! For this collection, called Vision in Lace, I took two pieces of lace - one with organically shaped pattern, one with geometrically precise sections. But the white of the lace was not appealing to me. So, I took to spray painting the swatches! You can see close up of the colored laces below. As the swatches were drying, I took a lot of photos from different angles to capture the sheen and texture and changing colors. These photos would become the base for my new textile designs.

I love combining hands-on work with computer magic. Indeed, there is a variety of programs one can use to alter imagery and to change its feel completely. After many tests and after reviewing many color combinations, my collections honors the popular colors of blue, green, and red. Aren't these just perfect for any occasion? As I say, lace, pearls, and denim ... They never go out of style.
