The Story of Lace

Is there any other material that leads such a double life? Lace is at the same time fussy and restrained yet provocative and sexy. It’s province of grandmothers and antique shops but also keeps stores like La Perla and Victoria Secret in business. How can the same material be used to represent the virginal purity of a white bridal veil, the rebellious punk look of fingerless lace gloves, and also manage to be seductive in a négligée? And that’s just for starters. Somehow lace manages to do it all.
