DIRECTIONS BY
LACE-UP
The lace-up detail technique
reworks itself for Fall/Winter
2018. Shifting away from
boudoir associations, the
technique finds its aesthetic
over more masculine silhouettes
this time.
Corsetry inspired lacing and
flows through large cut outs
bring a feminine touch to
masculine proportions and
silhouettes.

The ribbons/laces are wider
and bolder and often let loose
without a knot finishing it up at
the end.

APPLIQUÉ
Traditional lace techniques
gain added interest by being
approached in a 3D appliqué
manner. The end result
comes out to be more of an
embellished detail. Lacey ribbon
strands are coiled together in
arbitrary spirals.
These components are then cut
and sewn together over surface
panels to create embroidered
patches.
Appliqué techniques find
themselves working with mostly
florals in a wide range of
materials ranging from fabric,
to leather, to sequins and even
beads.
