This season we saw designers liberate lace and silk from the bedroom with a modern boudoir twist. Going from scandalous to classy, the beloved fabric underwent a royal reboot with industry greats like Meadham Kirchhoff and Christian Dior dressing models in fitted, lady-like pencil skirts which were more Grace Kelly than Marilyn Monroe. With it now being perfectly acceptable to dress the trend up, or down, it has all the fashion quotient needed to give your wardrobe a sophisticated AW13 make over.
One “must have” staple piece which we’ll be adding to our collection is this Silver Crystal Lace Silk Dress by Huishan Zhang. Lavished in crystals the luxe buy embodies Zhang’s signature style of contemporary shift dresses, with lashings of embellishments and a striking decor of black lace.
At £1,490.00 the classy number can be worn to work, class and even a lunch date, but we find it most value in the evening hours when it comes to a Sex and The City style night out at your favourite cocktail pair. Team it up with a structured blazer and pair of pumps, sure, but to really turn heads wear it with your highest pair of heels and accessorise with a Martini.
