news in lace for Spring

Where's the news in lace for Spring, you ask? In its sheer diversity. Dolce & Gabbana dug through a bride's trousseau for some needlepoint inspiration, and there was likewise a lot of romance in Ralph Lauren's return to the Old West. On the flip side, Christopher Kane balanced his feminine silhouettes with in-your-face, neon colors. And Balenciaga's shirts—a mash-up of sequins and mismatched, plasticized lace—channeled street punks.
