LACE ME DOWN
The exploration of love and family is valued more in recent popular culture today. Coincidentally, the movement of second hand shopping and the idea of "one mans trash is another mans treasure" is a movement that has been growing over time. This emulates the idea of seeing value from something that has aged. Embracing imperfections, aged surfaces and ones that we want to cherish.
It is like inheriting doilies from your grandmother and valuing them. Decorating your house in them.
This concept of exploration of love and family, coinciding with the movement of second hand and aging, inspires materials of textural sensitivity.
Recreating aged surfaces, and ones with special meaning.
The elements that make the trend in this look is the fabric design in the blose. The fact that it is lace. The idea of aged lace and intricate hand work is shown in the lace. Also the fact that the lace is beige it looks as though that the 'white' lace is aged.
Collections that also have lace as a design are,
Spring Summer 2011, Chanel, Anna Sui, Christopher Kane, Collette Dinigan, Dolce&Gabbana, John Galliano, Marchesa.
FUR PLAY
There is never a positive perspective on Fur, and the use of fur for clothing. This season, there has been an enlightenment of Fur. There is a motion of making things look more real than they seem. This is popular in culture today such as the substitution of sugar with splenda, and simple things that make someone healthier or make the world a better place. There is a motion of making the real, look fake, and the fake look real .(Macro trend 2011)There has been a popularity of using animal hides on coats and jackets, especially when the trend's season is winter(2010).
The trend can be seen is the Fall 2010 collections of Acne, Alberta Ferretti, Balenciaga, Burberry Prosum, Chanel, Dries Van Noten, Fendi, Lanvin, Porenza Schouler.
