Lace
Intriguing seductiveness

It’s gentle, delicate, intriguing. It is a material that symbolizes seduction and elegance. This season lace is ruling the catwalks. So find out everything about it

     Lace was first found in Italy and Flanders in the XV century. Most historians claim that the roots of lace are actually related to Ancient Egypt and the ancient Egyptians transferred the secret to Greeks and Romans. Handmade lace was one of the most luxurious materials, and noblemen worn it on the sleeves and collars. Motives alone depended on the fashion and place where it was created. So, for example, the lace made ​​in Italy and Spain in the XVII century was heavy and rich, while in France it was very light and like spider web. In the XVII century French were obsessed with this material, and everyone wore it, from the lowest classes up to the extremely wealthy people. At that time it was smuggled from Belgium with the help of dogs.

Since it was made by hand, the very skills were passed down from generation to generation. This perforated material gives the impression of mysticism, and also adds a touch of heat. In the second half of the XIX century they began producing lace mechanically and hand made lace was neglected.

Indispensable detail

Today, several centuries later, the lace has found wide application in the fashion industry, from underwear to dresses, blouses, and as an accessory to pants, purses, shoes. Hand-made lace, which has a far higher price and therefore much better quality, is used to create a luxurious Haute Couture dresses. Dresses made ​​according to this principle look much more luxurious and refined.
 

There are several types of lace, like Naples, Alençon lace, Senglea, Aloe, Point de Gaze, Florence, Crochet lace and Bobin lace. It is made of silk, cotton, wool or linen, but it can be obtained from synthetic materials as well. There are also many types of lace, classified by how they are made, like Needle lace, Knitted lace, Knotted lace and Crocheted lace.

Lace has been present among us for few seasons. The difference between the pieces from previous seasons and season fall-winter 2011/2012 is that the leading designers have tried to make designs which seem more mature and stronger, revealing the shape of the body, and still retaining a trendy look. A large number of international designers such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Jason Wu, Lanvin and Marras, recommend lace for this autumn-winter season. Lace garments can be combined with other materials such as leather or wool. As for color, the most popular are beige, which gives an impression of serenity and harmony, then stronger colors like red, that seems provocative and sexy, and the most popular is black, which can be combined with everything. Lacy blouse, which apparently looks very chic, with a pair of jeans can look casual. Black cocktail dresses have never been out of fashion, and if they are made ​​of lace, this season they are a real hit. For those who want something a bit different, there is lace with print, which, if worn on the naked body without lining, looks like a tattoo on your skin.

Very chic and seductive, lace is a trend for itself. But keep to the golden rule "less is more", or combine one garment made of lace or possibly two if they have the same pattern (dress and trousers, blouse and trousers). Do not wear several garments made ​​of lace in different colors or prints. It will leave probably the unwanted impression.

Čipka

Intrigantna zavodljivost

Nežna je, delikatna, intrigantna. Važi za materijal koji najviše simbolizuje zavodljivost i eleganciju. Ove sezone čipka je zavladala modnim pistama, stoga saznajte baš sve o njoj.

    Prva pojavljivanja čipke vezuju se za 15. vek u Italiji i Flandriji. Većina istoričara tvrdi kako su koreni čipke zapravo vezani za Stari Egipat, a da su Egipćani tajnu izrade preneli Grcima i Rimljanima. Ručno rađena, važila je za jedan od najluksuznijih materijala, a otmeni svet ju je nosio na rukavima i okovratnicima. Sami motivi zavisili su od mode i mesta u kojem je izrađena. Tako je, na primer, čipka pravljena u Italiji i Španiji u 17. veku bila teška i bogata, dok je u Francuskoj bila veoma lagana i nalik paučini. U 17. veku ljudi u Francuskoj su bili opsednuti ovim materijalom, i nosili su je svi, počev od najnižeg staleža pa sve do izuzetno imućnih ljudi. U to vreme je krijumčarena iz Belgije uz pomoć pasa.

S obzirom da se u to vreme ručno izrađivala, sama veština se prenosila s kolena na koleno. Ovaj rupičasti materijal odaje utisak mističnosti, a odeći daje notu topline. U drugoj polovini 19. veka počela je da se izrađuje mašinskim putem, pa je ručna izrada zapostavljena.

Neizostavni detalj

Danas, nekoliko vekova kasnije, čipka je u modnoj industriji našla široku primenu, počev od donjeg veša, preko haljina, bluza, ali i kao dodatak na pantalonama, tašnama, cipelama. Za izradu raskošnih Haute Couture haljina koristi se ručno rađena čipka koja je na daleko višoj ceni, pa je sam kvalitet izrade znatno bolji. Haljine izrađene po ovom principu izgledaju mnogo luksuznije i otmenije.

Postoji nekoliko vrsta čipke, poput napuljske, alansonske, sengala, aloje, poen d gaz, florentinske, kroše i bobin čipke. Izrađuje se od svile, pamuka, vune ili lana, mada je mašinskom izradom moguće dobiti čipku i od sintetičkih materijala. Sam način izrade se razlikuje, a uobičajeni su šivenje, tkanje, vezivanje, pletenje i kačkanje.

Čipka je prisutna među nama nekoliko sezona unazad. Razlika između komada iz prethodnih sezona i sezone jesen-zima 2011/2012 je u tome što su se vodeći dizajneri potrudili da komadi deluju zrelije i čvršće, da otkrivaju formu tela, a da opet zadrže trendy izgled. Veliki broj svetskih dizajnera, kao što su Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Jason Wu, Lanvin i Marras, preporučuju čipku za sezonu jesen-zima. Odevne predmete od čipke dozvoljeno je kombinovati s drugim materijalima poput kože ili vune. Što se tiče boja, popularne su bež, koja odaje utisak smirenosti i sklada, potom jače boje poput crvene, koja deluje provokativno i seksi, a najpopularnija je crna, koju možete kombinovati uz sve. Čipkana bluza, koja naizgled deluje veoma šik, uz par farmerica vrlo lako može izgledati casual. Crne koktel haljine nikada nisu izašle iz mode, a ako su od čipke, ove sezone su pravi pogodak. Za one koji žele nešto malo drugačije, tu je čipka sa printom koja, ukoliko se nosi na golo telo, a pritom nema postavu, izgleda kao tetovaža na vašoj koži.

Vrlo šik i zavodljiva, čipka je trend sama za sebe. Držite se samo zlatnog pravila „više je manje“, odnosno kombinujte jedan čipkani komad ili eventualno dva u slučaju istog dezena (haljina i pantalone, bluza i pantalone). Nikako nemojte nositi nekoliko odevnih predmeta napravljenih od čipke, koji su pritom drugačije boje ili printa. To odaje utisak koji verovatno ne želite da ostavite.
