http://hiddenfashionhistory.com/uncategorized/come-to-pittsburgh-and-see-the -iris-van-herpen-show-at-cmoa/ One of the Lacemakers of Maine tipped me off to this exhibit in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, which will close soon. You can search the name of Iris van Herpen to see more. I suspect she had access to the lace collection at the Rijksmuseum. If not, perhaps the lacemakers in Amsterdam could invite her to a lace exhibit that would inspire. Wouldn't you love to have someone like her continuously presenting fashions that use or are inspired by traditional lace? Fashion magazine editors always take note when contemporary lace is introduced to them in new ways. Remember the flying lace "cap" over an Amsterdam canal engineered by Choishine, the young Boston area architects? We must show people of any age, the possibilities of lace as an art, whether small or large. It is the unexpected that young professionals of our time are delightedly discovering.
