Fashion Week Review- Ethnic lace classic.

   It is so precious to see such a dreamy lace collection like this. I couldn’t use any other type of words to describe Valentino 2012 SS collection but ” Beautiful”. 
Maria and Pier created a ethnic lace garden, edwardian lace and traditional lace cut works, embroidered with different fabrics combination are classic and fantastic, bubble sleeves and shoulder design are more turn to the ethnic way, accessories and bags are so “mexican tough sweet.” I would love to wear such romantic outfits for sure, it feels like time traveling back to the beginning of last century,  Frida wears different type of lace and transparency embroidered flowers with her special style and elegant smile, visiting and exploring Europe. Well it is too much imagination… Actually these design are not too sweet and traditional, it is very artistic. Like digital print for modern lady style, lace design is one of the most visible details to present classic femininity lady. Women have more choices to pick whatever they want at modern era, however, every woman still eager to wear soft, decorated, classic femininity outfit. It make women feels like they are princess.

Edwardian lace cut work, the beginning of 20 century.

Frida’s work always include so much strong personality from hers. Her style was quite original,mixed european style and south american ethnic style perfectly.
