Delicate and demure—but incredibly hot—lace weaves a captivating web.
Runway from Alberta Ferretti (first two outfits), Marchesa, Chloe, Michael Costello and Tadashi Shoji.
Perhaps the most intriguing and bipolar of all fashion materials, lace is both innocent and in-your-face, both demure and demonstrative.
