Borne out of the recent Seventies redux, the lace-up front has now been given a new modern spin. Gone are the bohemian references as designers have blown the lace-up large to give structure and dimension to the season’s outsize pieces. What once was considered an ‘intimate’ detailing has now been worked into slip dresses, jackets and tees.

Proenza Schouler played with the idea of control and release by experimenting with crisscrossing straps on knit dresses and tops while at DKNY, the slip dress has been reinvented with corset-lace detailing that hints at skin - wear over tee for the ultimate ‘90s throwback. For those less risqué, layer an open-back lace-up knit over a crisp white shirt for a fresh way to interpret the trend into your work wardrobe. Adding a fresh new touch to everything in your wardrobe, this is fashion’s new focal point.
