The moment of creating the New Year Capsule Collection is always very inspiring and special for us. We know very well how as a child you dreamed of a New Year's fairy tale: a festive Christmas tree, a welcome gift, and a magical dress. Nothing has changed now. Really? Our collection is filled with the noble shine of velvet, a variety of feminine styles, authentic fabrics, and love for you❤.
For as long as I can remember, I have always had a special interest in handbags: large or small, classic shapes or shoppers. Looking at them, touching them, or trying them on gave me and still gives me great aesthetic pleasure. Now I remember the day when my boyfriend gave me the first leather bag of an unknown brand in a very hearty store in Croatia. These emotions are impossible to convey with words. From that moment I decided for myself that I would collect my collection of bags and buy only what I like, keep them in a duster, and wear them carefully. And that's how it turned out. We are not talking about high-profile brands with exorbitant cost, so my current collection is a reminder of certain periods and events in my life.
So to release at least one bag under my brand (already engaged in the production of clothing) was a cherished dream for me, at some stages even unrealizable.
The first thing was to choose the leather. I want to say right away that to my mind a quality bag that can last more than a year or even five years (with proper care) should be made of quality leather, supplemented with no less quality accessories that don't lose their appearance and simply won't break.
Since I firmly decided for myself that we will not make any compromises, even if it will be very expensive and even financially inefficient, we chose the best Italian leather on the market. Then there was no less sensitive stage - the creation of the sketch and elaboration of fittings, which we had been waiting for a very long time because we ordered it from Italy. Long negotiations and reworkings of little things, invisible to the naked eye, to bring the shape to perfection. Tears of disappointment, endless waiting, and finally tears of happiness. That the long-awaited specimen was ready.
With trepidation and special love, I want to introduce you to our first bag, which I named Alba (It. Dawn). Every element, seam, and angle, was thoroughly worked out by me and our team, the details were honed by the technologist. Because it's something special for us, the first bag of THE LACE brand.
It reminds me that dreams do come true.

The second - is the maximum of positive emotions, meeting with friends and concerts of favorite performers.

There are a couple more points, but I will sound them only to Santa Claus )). And for each of you in the New Year, I wish to dream more, believe more, and love more."Tanya, the brand manager

I dream that this New Year everyone will find their loved one and that no one in the world will feel lonely. I hope that everyone's dream will come true, the main thing is to sincerely believe in it!"Kristina, stylist-consultant
"The year... why do we limit ourselves, why can't we go towards our dreams now? Why start doing something in 2019, if we can do it now? I don't know how much you can call it a dream, but I wish for freedom in my actions, in my thoughts, to go in a non-prescribed way, and not to depend on other people's opinions.I dream to enjoy every day, to open new horizons, to conquer new heights. I dream to add beauty to this mortal world)"Alina, stylist, and consultant

Don't be afraid of cold weather! We know how to keep you warm in style. In the season FW 18/19 we continue to create layered interesting images. We put sundresses and jackets over sweaters made of thin materials, and use more voluminous models over dresses and combine them with asymmetric skirts. When choosing warm clothing be sure to pay attention to the composition of materials and tactile sensations that arise from contact with the skin. If you feel comfortable in your clothes, then they deserve a place of honor in your closet.
Wool Yarn Sweaters
Knit sweaters with a dropped shoulder are base. Their simple cut will allow you to create a large number of images: from business to romantic. If you take the sweater as the basis of a capsule, we recommend complementing it with classic pants, a printed dress, and a midi skirt made of denim.
Sweaters with open shoulders
Even in the cold season, sometimes you want to bare your shoulders. But let's agree that you'll use such a technique only with a safety net in the form of warm material. Our sweaters are made of wool jersey, so you can safely use them in fall and winter looks.
Slim sweaters and socks
Sweaters and socks with a fitted silhouette are recommended to wear under the bottom of the suit, every time changing the mood of the image. Sweaters and pullovers are perfectly combined with skirts and pants with high waists. Just choose a round or v-neck and your favorite color.
With the onset of cold weather, many girls have only one goal: to wrap up warm. THE LACE brand has taken on a responsible mission! We want outerwear, in addition to warming properties, to satisfy aesthetic needs.
Coats are able to gather and complete the image correctly, to add elegance and femininity. Take on stylish ideas for layered outfits: use turtlenecks, shirts, wool jackets, and sweaters. Mixing a few things together will make it easy for you to weather the weather and wear your favorite coat until the bitter cold.
Limited Edition FW 2018 Collection
Our pride and absolute love! We worked really hard to create something special for you. Have you seen these colors? The life-affirming red hue will confidently set you apart from the crowd. And, of course, we didn't do without the classic palette: red, navy, khaki, and sand.
The oversize line
Our line of oversize coats, where you will find many spectacular and very warm coats. Variety of colors, prints, and textures. Our overcoats are warm and versatile; we paid special attention to the material and cutting because we want these coats to last for many seasons.
Winter coats with fur trim
If down jackets and blowing jackets do not suit everyone, then you can pick up a coat for absolutely any type of figure. Therefore we recommend paying attention to the winter-insulated models. Fur can decorate the collar or hem of the coat, giving it a special chic.
Hi!
My name is Albina Krasnaya, I'm the founder and creative director at THE LACE. Not so long ago I went to Milan, the fashion capital of the world, for inspiration and frankly I'm still impressed. This time I opened for myself this city from another side, it turns out that there are a lot of interesting things there besides the Duomo and other standard "must-see". I want to share with you my impressions and introduce you to two museums.
Fondazione Prada
It is a small artistic quarter in the south of Milan. The complex consists of several buildings. In each of them, you can see different expositions (temporary and permanent). Prepare for the fact that you have to stand in line for tickets for up to 30 minutes. Most of all we liked the new 9-story building. Had the good fortune to see the extraordinary beauty of the staircase, because the elevator did not work that day (yes, we were lucky).
Basically, this museum is about contemporary art. All the exhibits are very different and interesting. So I advise you to go to the 9th floor so you don't miss anything. I will not reveal all the cards.
Conceptually the museum is very similar to Pinchuk Art Center, I thought that there will be more emphasis on fashion and not on contemporary art. It was a mistake - but I'm not upset! There is a very nice Italian restaurant on the grounds, where you can eat and drink a glass of sparkling wine - to mark the "taking of the new museum" on your world map.
Armani/Silos
Fashion art museum, which is located in Milan and is dedicated to the Armani style. As Giorgio says, the word Silos (from English: granary, bunker) in the name is for a reason. Previously this building was used for storing food and, in his opinion, food, like clothes, is a vital necessity. We enter the building - and we are greeted by a pleasant and stylish doorman, as in boutiques, there is not a single person at the front desk. We quickly buy tickets and begin our journey into the world of Armani.
The museum is a 4-story building, the architect and the designer did a titanic job, thinking everything to the smallest detail and creating an interior that epitomizes the Armani style. On the first floor, there is an exhibition of photographs, which is divided into thematic zones. Each zone has its own music, so the visitor may feel the mood of the exposition. The next three floors are thematic blocks of Armani collections for the last 40 years - from 1980 to the present day. The museum features more than 400 dresses and 200 accessories, which are impossible to look away from. Each floor is dedicated to its own theme and is divided into stylistic and color zones.
Armani's philosophy and vision are such that next to the dress of 1989 you can see the dress of the previous season and these contrasts make the exhibition even more fascinating. Armani dresses are true works of art. All this riot of colors and styles is gathered here and now, in one place, so you can enjoy the aesthetics of contrasts and feel the greatness of the work that has been boiling for so many years, and which combined the height of creativity and perfection of execution.
Without a doubt, the Armani girl is sophisticated and determined, charming, and confident. She knows how to dress a work of art and feel its grace and beauty with every cell of her body. She wears tight vests and trousers-checkered, sundresses, and dresses with beading. She is gorgeous. She's by Armani.
Everyday laconic femininity in the new THE LACE Pre-Fall 2018 collection! At the center of the concept is a peaceful and free-from-prejudice heroine in the lap of nature, which is the best way to shade her sensuality and emphasize the feminine.
The collection is full of elegant forms combined with relaxed silhouettes: various midi-length dresses, monochrome pantsuits, cozy close-knit sweaters, and denim, adapted to the brand's concept.
The main colors of the collection are warm camel, ruby, gray, noble blue, always topical black, and original, but restrained floral prints. The prevailing fabrics are suits, cotton, denim, wool, and knitwear.
A limited edition line of autumn coats deserves special attention. To create it the creators of the brand went to Italy to choose special materials and adopt the experience of the world leaders.
"The process of creating an autumn collection for us is always a special ritual, which we treat with awe. This season we have worked in detail not only the external component but also the smallest details which are visible only at closer acquaintance. Our mission is to show care for our customers." - says Albina Krasnaya, co-founder and creative director of the brand.
Oh, those pleasant preparations for the dream resort. But when packing your suitcase, the main thing is not to get carried away and not to accumulate unnecessary things that will remain untouched during the trip. With THE LACE we suggest putting together a capsule closet that allows you to shine in a new look every day during the vacation without paying for the excess baggage at the airport.
Linen suit
The weather can be unpredictable and capricious, so be sure to bring a jacket that you can throw over your shoulders on a windy evening. Remember our fabulous linen suits? Well, if you choose a set with shorts, you'll provide the basis for many looks. Mix and match!
Basic Top
You can't go anywhere without a versatile top! That goes with shorts, skirts, a linen suit, and your favorite jeans. We created our strappy tops made of natural silk, which is so nice to envelop your skin. THE LACE is always in favor of comfort!
Shirt or dress shirt
A serious closet item that wants to go on vacation too! You can tie the shirt in a knot, roll the sleeves up higher and get a relaxed base for the look. You can also wear it wide open over a bathing suit as a cape. The same technique would work with a shirt dress, too.
White skirt
The perfect base! First of all, we're pretty sure that white is about summer. Just imagine how the skirt will accentuate your beautiful tan. Secondly, it's easy to pair with any of the tops. This season we staked on denim, which is very comfortable to wear and practically doesn't crease. Choose your length: mini or midi?
Sundresses and dresses
Where to go without them? Walks on endless promenades, dances till morning, and dinners in panoramic restaurants...When it comes to dresses, it's impossible to stop a girl! That's why in our collection you can find several iconic models of the season, which will support your mood and emphasize your unique personality.
Why do we love summer? For delicious berries, picnics, outdoor events, long walks, and beautiful sunrises. For the intoxicating smell of linden blossoms and the rare but refreshing rains and thunderstorms. And also for the opportunity to wear dresses... Light, flying, lace, linen, transparent. And to make it easier for you to choose the iconic dresses of the season, we've compiled the top 5 most desirable models of summer from THE LACE.
Beautiful back
We're sure you have to look spectacular from every angle. A dress in which both your appearance will cause a furor and your departure will definitely not go unnoticed. Beautiful back, accentuated waist, and the most trendy midi length. To all this add an unobtrusive shine of satin and the most delicate shades.
Flounces
For several seasons one of the leading trends is the dresses decorated with flounces. And no wonder, as designers continue to hold the course to femininity. And we know exactly how romantic girls look in these dresses: flounces play beautifully while walking and add +100 points to the grace during the dancing.
Polka dot
A print that allows you to travel through time. You can beat up a polka dot dress with plastic glasses and slingbacks on kitten heels and get an image with a retro echo. Or you can wear ugly sneakers and a belted bag under it, as trendsetters do.
Shirt dress
As sad as it may sound, you also need to go to work in the summer. And preferably do it beautifully. We offer you the perfect option: a shirt dress made of linen or cotton. In this case, you will not lose your femininity in pursuit of comfort. And to accentuate your waist, we give a belt to each dress.
White lace
We know how to highlight your beautiful tan! Two words: white dress. Our option is a model with open shoulders and lace trim. A little shimmer on the skin and you're the star of any beach party. Before your vacation don't forget to pick up the dress at THE LACE Store.
