Crochet vs Lace

Crochet continues to emerge at numerous Ready-to-Wear fashion shows, from the likes of Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang and Comme Des Garcons. In the past, it could easily come across dowdy, but it has taken a turn for the better. I still am partial to lace. It is more feminine, delicate and whimsical. However, this season's crochet styles have made me take a second look! Luckily, there is plenty of both fabrics available in just about every boutique nationwide.
