Modern Lace
- Zimmer + Rohde’s Sazar, a laser-cut faux suede from the company’s Urban Safari collection, has a sweet circle motif (59"w, through designers; Zimmer-Rohde.com).
- The dramatic silhouette of Artesanal, made of sheer silk and chenille bouclé, evokes the look of stained glass (54"w, $160/ yd. through designers; BeaconHillDesign.com).
- Win, Lace or Show, designed by Gretchen Bellinger Studio, is produced in Belgium of mercerized cotton (54"w, $270/yd. through designers; GretchenBellinger.com).
- The evening-wear elegance of Cloth and Paper’s cotton Sublime Lace is no coincidence; it’s woven by a French couturier (40"w, through designers; 877/313-0313).
