Cut it out: 10 ways to wear broderie anglaise and lace

A model walks the runway for Jonathan Simkhai during NYFW: The Shows on September 11, 2021 in New York City.

As spring awakens we look to shed the heavy fabrics of winter opting for more delicate fancies. 

We are drawn to the lightweight feel that broderie anglaise and lace create. 

This winning combination remains a firm favourite for designers. 

Look to Simone Rocha for romance with an edge or to Erdem for that archetypical spring look.
