On Trend Resort14; Black & White; Lace all over

Planning my trip to Italy gets me excited for the pre-spring trends. One beautiful look is the "lace all over" either all black or all white. I love it, somewhat romantic and it reminds me of the Queen Elizabeth. Dating back to the late 16th century lace was popular in west Europe, mainly Italy and Spain. And even though the clothing styles have evolved over the centuries, the lace still remains.

Denim, Leopard and Leather

Pairing some of my favorites and I guess these materials are historic classics to begin with. 

Starting with Denim which was first sold in 18oo's to the working class people. Now every designer in history must have used denim at one point in their collection and I can't think  of a world without denim.
Leopard (animal print) was trending in the 1950's, mostly worn by musicians, models and movie stars. It was a rebellious thing to wear and worn around the bohemian movement.
and finally leather, which played a big role in the development of civilization, using it for basic needs up to 1300 BC. which might be one of the oldest materials that made it through out the years into fashion. 

Now how's that for you Monday morning education in fashion?
