Fashion - Misc. Lace is ace: What have Lady Diana, the new romantics
Fashion - Misc. Lace is ace: What have Lady Diana, the new romantics and the Paris designers in common? Answer a little bit of lace. Lady Diana prefers a chic frill at the neck, while the New Romantics (followers of Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet) opt for lace jabots, mufflers and ruffles. And the Paris mandarins use lace in their latest evening gowns with outrageous extravagance. But lace can come cheaper than the Left Bank if you shop around, and of course there are always the second-hand clothes from two generations ago to be found in jumble sales. Its pretty, fashionable and suits either sex because you can stick it or sew it on more or less anything. White and woolly.... Dress £ 30 from M.O. Designs. Blouse £ 15. Alpaca waistcoat £ 11 and legwarmers £ 5. Gloves a couple of quid and boots £ 7. March 1981 P017450

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of fashion in the 1980s, where lace was undoubtedly the epitome of elegance and style. Lady Diana, known for her impeccable taste, adorns a chic frill at her neck, showcasing how even a small touch of lace can elevate any outfit. Meanwhile, the New Romantics movement takes it to another level with their love for lace jabots, mufflers, and ruffles - a true reflection of their admiration for artists like Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet. The Paris designers featured in this photograph have embraced lace with audacious extravagance in their latest evening gowns. However, one need not break the bank to enjoy this fashionable trend as there are always hidden gems waiting to be found at jumble sales or through savvy shopping. Lace is versatile enough to be stuck or sewn onto almost anything - making it accessible and suitable for both men and women alike. In this particular image from March 1981 by Mirrorpix on Memory Lane Prints, we see an exquisite white dress priced at £30 from M. O. Designs paired effortlessly with a blouse (£15), alpaca waistcoat (£11), legwarmers (£5), gloves (a couple of quid), and boots (£7). The overall look exudes sophistication while capturing the spirit of that era's fashion trends.
