Lace

My fascination with Lace and crochet has been a large factor in the inspiration in much of my work. Going back to the lace shoes for Bertie in A/W 07.

As a kid I used to route through my mum's bits 'n' bobs draws filled with ribbons, vintage lace and buttons, much to her dismay when she found them attached to hand made cards. But I loved the texture and craftsmanship involved.

I customised a basic H&M T-shirt with this beautiful crochet neck that I found in a haberdashery. I really wished I'd bought more of them, as they'd look great on the Nude vests and tops coming through for S/S.

I'm planning on running with this idea, keep posted with other forms of lace duplication for bags and accessories.
