Lace in Fashion: Discover the skill and seduction of this exquisite fashion technique
From fine luxury garments worn by royals and the aristocracy to machine-made fashions for the everyday, our brand new exhibition will reveal both the techniques and the top names that have made lace such an enduring fashion trend. Featuring over 40 historic treasures and designer dresses, Lace in Fashion draws on the riches of the Fashion Museum collection to showcase the skill and seduction of this fashionable fabric.The oldest object in the exhibition will be a smock dating from around 1580 with Flemish bobbin lace on the sleeves and collar, one of the earliest pieces in the Fashion Museum collection. Another of the Museum’s rarest treasures will also appear in the show: the Silver Tissue Dress which dates from the 1660s is trimmed with exquisite parchment lace, a rare and delicate fabric made using tiny strips of parchment or paper wrapped in silk.
Other highlights include a navy blue lace dress worn by actress Lea Seydoux in the James Bond film Spectre, which has been loaned to the Fashion Museum by Australian design duo Lover, as well as elegant evening gowns by top fashion names Balmain, Balenciaga and Molyneux.
Lace in Fashion will be on display from 4 February 2017 to 1 January 2018.
