Lace Magic: A Modern Twist on Handcrafted Elegance

Combining Practicality and Comfort in Women's Dress

The designer, Serap Safiye Yildiz, presents Lace Magic, a collection that showcases the charm of the modern-day woman. With a focus on practicality and comfort, these garments are suitable for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to formal events. By combining handcrafted elegance with chiffon and satin, Yildiz has created a collection that exudes fun and sophistication.

What sets Lace Magic apart from other designs is the attention to detail and unique features. The blouse, made with handmade lacework, is not only visually stunning but also elastic, making it suitable for different sizes. The lower and upper parts of the outfit can be worn separately, offering versatility and allowing for different styling options. The shorts and skirts in the collection also stand out, with the skirt's upper fabric featuring a special production nanotechnology that has anti-aging and antioxidant properties.

The realization of Lace Magic involves a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. The handmade blouse is meticulously crafted using the crochet technique, incorporating motifs from traditional lace and bead braid art. The skirt, on the other hand, is made from a smart fabric produced by a sponsor factory, which has anti-aging and antioxidant properties. The skirt is sewn using the cottage stitching technique, and the materials used, such as chiffon, lace, and satin, are combined with nanotechnology.

Technical specifications for Lace Magic include a blouse height of 60 cm, shorts measuring 27 cm * 27 cm, and a skirt height of 112 cm with a width of 233 cm. The collection is designed to fit a model with a height of 170 cm and body measurements of 80-61-90.

Despite the challenges faced during the design process, Yildiz managed to overcome them and create a truly unique collection. The sewing technique for the hard skirt and short skirt was developed from scratch, as there were no precedents to follow. Additionally, finding the right fabrics for the shorts and skirts proved to be a challenge, requiring extensive research and collaboration with nanotechnology fabric producers.

Lace Magic is not only visually stunning but also functional. The garments can be worn separately or combined to create different effects, and the intelligent fabric used in the design prevents aging in the appearance of the wearer. The blouse, made primarily of cotton, allows for breathability, ensuring comfort throughout the day.

The Lace Magic project began in September 2017 in Kayseri, Turkey, and was completed in the same location on February 27, 2018. The designer's dedication to research and innovation is evident in the final product, which seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.

For her outstanding work on Lace Magic, Serap Safiye Yildiz was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Fashion, Apparel, and Garment Design category in 2018. This prestigious award recognizes designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making a positive impact on the world.
