LACED UP Lace, in
THAT ’70S TREND
a muted color palette of soft pastels and traditional white, lent girls’ collections a refined femininity. Though the delicate fabric dates back to the 1400s, modern twists such as photoreal prints, embossed textures and metallic foiling give the fabric a fresh new feel. “With childrenswear, there is always some sort of evolution, but... Lace is one of those classics, and I saw a lot of it,” says Muller. He points to pieces that juxtapose lace and crochet with airy tulle or linen as highlights.
The ’70s made a startling comeback in Fall ’15, and spring European collections continue the trend. “Think folky prints, flares and light wash denim,” states Clifton, who points toward flares at Chloé and fringed jersey dresses at Stella McCartney Kids as key pieces for the trend. Muller advises retailers to embrace the trend’s boho side, noting free-flowing silhouettes and crochet materials (a kid-friendly alternative to suede) as important.
