DIY: De-Constructed Lace
Jason Wu has emerged a clear hit (among editors and bloggers alike) this New York Fashion Week 2011 with his Baroque meets Sportswear collection for Ready-To-Wear this season which makes perfect sense to me. Modern women, women always on the go don't want to be bothered with elaborate or fussy garments. With a theme like this, you can keep the shapes simple but make the decoration luxurious which fulfils the need for a shot of drama in your outfits in a chic yet comfortable way.

Jason Wu used more than 15 types of lace for embellishment just as so many other designers this season. Lace is all over the place! Its a great detail in your garments that suggests subtle glamour and opulence. But we know this already, lace has been around for seasons, you say? Thats Right. What we're here to see today is how to get most wear out of a delicate detail like lace which is not easy to wear all the time. The trendiest way is to wear it this season - de-construct and re-engineer lace into your wardrobe, which quite simply means taking it apart and re-embroidering it like you did jigsaw puzzles as a kid. Here are a number of designers to take Do-It-Yourself inspiration from.Marc Jacobs NYFW Fall/RTW 2011 Macrame Gladiators by Jen Kao - Perfect accessories under any shoes for boho-chic! Lace Applique Brogues by Junya Watanabe - A definite DIY with doilies and varnish maybe?Aurelie Bidermann Cuffs - Lace Dipped in Metal
