    Karl Lagerfeld is starting to go a bit nuts with laser cut fabrics, Chanel AND Fendi, maybe a bit of an overkill? But I really don't care if it is, cos I LOVE those latice patterns.

    Hey CC! I love how the lattice cut-outs can either be delicate and feminine or sexy and edgy. I think all the looks you picked are fantastic but my favourites are the black cut-out items...so hot!
    Also, thanks so much for the wonderful comment you left about my illustrations. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like them.
    Hope you had a lovely weekend dear. Take care :)

    Laser-cut lace is lovely, but somehow I feel like compared to real hand-knit lace like the stuff that showed up in Prada's A/W '08 collection it's a bit lacking. :)

    Hi Carrie,

    This collection is INSANE. I love them all.

    The Wunderkind is one of my personal favourites though, it clings to the model perfectly and is well formed!

    Jeremy Laing's is seamless. The attire is fitted to perfection.

    I wasn't able to see any of the other pictures though, they wouldn't download. My Mac is having some glitches lately!

    Nonetheless, great post!

    This is a tricky trend, only cos it's so easy to do wrong. I've seen way to many high street versions that look cheap. But loving your picks, esp. the Yves Saint Laurent, Wunderkind, Modernist and the Midsummer Light.

    Mmmmm :)

    Thanks bella!
