Reviving The Racy Lacy Trend

31. January 2012

The lace trend has a way of reinventing itself with every passing season, and you can be sure that this is one of the trends that will feature dominantly throughout this year. It seems like everyone is wearing lace outfits, and this trend has featured repeatedly on the red carpet.

Lace outfits have a certain charm about them, giving them a racy look without disrupting their femininity. It is wise to incorporate lace outfits into your wardrobe in small doses; the all-lace trend doesn’t work for everyone and if not paired appropriately, the result in an unflattering over the top look.

Outfits with lace accents are the best choice for women who want to try out the look, before embracing it fully. There are diverse selections of outfits with lace details, which can work well into your wardrobe all year round.

The other choice would be to go for accessories and shoes with lace details. Lace detailing has a similar effect on accessories as they do on garments, and the result in a chic feminine appearance. Shoes with lace details are particularly charming and they can be paired with different types of outfits.

The daring few can opt for the all-dress look by opting for lace dresses. However, there are selections of demure lace dresses, which are accompanied by linings to expose minimal skin.

The models donned Amy’s signature beehive hairdo, cigarettes, Monroe-like moles and dramatic winged eyeliner. Gaultier explained, “She was so exceptional in her style; how she held her body; the way she dressed, mixing pieces from different decades.”

Amy’s family did not take the homage lightly; “we’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on,” Amy’s dad Mitch said.

There might have been a miscommunication between the late singer’s family and the acclaimed designer. They felt like “It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life. That’s upsetting for her family.” Mitch added that it was in bad taste to have models walking down the runway with cigarettes. “This is purely about Gaultier making money, and that’s wrong.” The family recently launched the Amy Winehouse Foundation, aimed at helping young people struggling with addiction and illness.

Cindy Crawdford hailed her daughter’s accomplishment being chosen to take part in the first Young Versace campaign. She also explained that it is hard for models to get jobs this days, “I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘wow, it is so hard for models to get jobs these days.’ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models.”

Animal prints are a loud and bold trend; remember that less is more when you choose to adorn animal prints. Do not match different animal print outfits and accessories, because the resulting look is often crowded.

Combine solid colors with animal prints, when paring printed tops or bottoms with other outfits. Keep it simple if you are not bold enough to go for a top to bottom animal print ensemble. Avoid revealing or tightly-fitting animal prints, because they reduce the elegance of this trend.
