I recently walked into a shop in Sydney and the most incredible coloured fabric I have ever seen caught my eye. As I stalked my prey I realised that it was a lace like I had never seen before... so intricately cut, it could only have been done by a laser. The design.. perfection. A floral pattern cut out of lace. So delicate yet so firm. To my (great) disappointment, I learned that the skirt was Proenza Schouler.. with a price tag to match. I walked out of the store crest fallen as I began to realise that a $4,000 skirt was not quite within reach of my budget. Alas! One day.. you will be mine.
