Designer Veil
Its common for creative industries of design to follow trends. But here are some images which I found that show the multitude of ways aesthetic design has used net and lace.Here are last seasons mast have accessory the modern take of the conventional sunglasses The Chanel sunglasses emphasise the nature of lace being decorative and a turns on its head the primarily purpose of what sunglasses have been invented by man to function as.
These glasses are to not protect the eyes from the harsh sun but as a visible barrier to construct a wall between the person wearing them to the world. These sunglasses protect its owners from the fro the public gaze. These sunglasses are a status symbol.
The origin of my want to discover the world of lace and its significance as a craft through my work placement and Alexander Mc Queen where I was designing lace leggings on illustration. The intricacy of such a medium brings a tactile quality to the realm of what is uncommonly thought of as being trendy through the glamorisation of other craft based mediums.

As you can see this is method that i may be able to utilise with having embroidery as a way of creating imagery that is delicate enough to create visible physical relief without weighing down the fabric.

This is the new Ministry of Culture in Paris,
The building is wrapped by metal lace caging. The building serves a purpose for a site that according to a site found and was previously dispersed over 17 locations around the city.
The visual design aimed to bring the concept of unity and identity. The organically shaped steel weave casts a patterned shadow upon the inner building and will change in appearance by the phases of the sun moving from day to night which casts shadows into the inner side of the building.
