collection „Expressive Lace“ consists of 8 looks in which an alternative approach towards lacemaking is developed. By going back to the roots of the lacemaking and inspired by the technique of cutwork, lace is reinterpreted and reinvented. There is a value of narrative and emotional attachment in the meticulous handwork, and this appreciation for the craft is pronounced in each piece.
In the collection lace is conceptually approached, brought into the conversation with Abstract Expressionist art movement and its spontaneous approach towards “making”. There is an aesthetic of decaying textile and deconstruction inspired by the rough and sloppy surfaces of the works of Abstract Expressionist such as Jackson Pollock Lee Krasner or William de Kooning.
The collection has elements of minimalism as well as maximalism. Lavish bright colors and lace-like surfaces are visually opulent and reductive aesthetic is pronounced in minimized silhouettes.
