Haute Plait

 A new trend is hitting the runways this spring/summer it’s the weave.  It has been handcrafting its way into handbags,party dresses, shoes and accessories.
Lace making, embroidery,macramé and appliqué are all being revived in bold and unexpected ways but the weave is the most versatile .

Mark Fast s/s 2012

Up and coming designer Lucas Mascimento developed a cord weave technique for his s/s 2012 collection at London Fashion Week that gave structure to all his dresses and cardigans. This type of material not only adds structure but also flatters any type of figure, so keep your eyes peeled for the new s/s collections at your favorite high street shops.

Lucas Nascimento s/s 2012

We first saw the weave on the ever so coveted Bottega Veneta tote, now you can find this trend all over s/s collections from Ugg Australia leather boots, Jimmy Choo leather bag, Mark Fasts’ beautiful dresses to Isabel Marants’ colourful woven tops.
