The Museum of Fashion and Lace in Calais is set to open a new exhibition dedicated to hand-made and mechanical lace. Entitled "Haute Dentelle" the exhibition offers visitors a unique view into the contemporary use of lace woven by fashion designers. Curated by Sylvie Marot, the exposition offers a unique dialogue between lace houses and fashion houses, highlighting the exchanges between the two creative propositions.
First inspired by and then later liberated from hand-made lace, mechanical laces have been pairing tradition with innovation for the past 200 years. 60 key pieces from thirteen fashion houses, such as Chanel, Christian Dior and Iris van Herpen will be displayed in the exhibition.
