On the Cutting Edge—Lasers in Fashion
We love patterns—they turn an ordinary dress or handbag into a real statement piece. It was only a matter of time before laser-cutting technology made the jump from medicine and manufacturing to fashion, and this technique is revolutionizing pattern creation in a variety of fabrics.
1. Clothing: Laser-cut patterns are all over the runways for Fall 2013. The pinpoint accuracy of lasers allows for sharp, detailed cuts that create a sexy lacy peek-a-boo effect. In fact, it allows leather—normally a cold-winter choice—to cross over to summer.
2. Jewelry: Intricate laser-cut patterns are showing up on artisan-tooled earrings and bracelets both in wood and precious metals.
3. Handbags: If peek-a-boo clothing isn’t for you, you can wear this hot trend over your shoulder instead. Miche’s Devanee collection for Fall 2013 features a laser-cut pattern of delicate circles in soft dove grey, and the effect is breathtaking and utterly feminine.
When high-tech meets high-fashion, the endless possibilities this union creates are exciting and fresh—not to mention absolutely beautiful. Go ahead—be on the cutting edge!
