Lace is already emerging as a major New York Fashion Week trend and nowhere was it more obvious than at Jason Wu’s Fall 2011 show where the designer used no less than 15 kinds of lace. In keeping with Wu’s Versailles inspiration, the collection was fittingly baroque in style and brimming with delicately decadent touches like gold-dipped stiletto heels, gold trim embroidery, high lace collars, mini lace veil masks covering half of a few of the models’ faces, and Swarovski crystal adorned dresses. The embellishments were controlled and understated, however, making for an elegantly tailored collection of ladylike designs that stayed true to Wu’s now signature aesthetic.
