From a Guardian (London) article on fashion, 8/8/08
Trend: Lace
Stand by your Fleetwood Mac records. In readiness for next year's comeback tour, Stevie Nicks' fabric of choice has been trumpeted as part of the "new gothic trend". To embrace the lace, first banish all preconceived ideas of its frumpiness, itchiness or similarity to twitching net curtains. Second, look at how Mrs Prada magically spins the fabric into a series of demure dresses and separates for her new autumn collection. Third, watch Desperately Seeking Susan again and study how Madonna wore lace gloves. Last but not least, take a look at the latest Chanel catwalk (above) for a cheap take on the trend: lace tights. These are the easiest, cheapest and most grown-up way to partake of the lace action, plus a simple way to snazzy up an LBD.
