Black Lace

Black Lace is trending for Fall…Intricate Detailing with a “Feminine Touch”. 

Lace has always been considered by the Fashion world, the most exquisite of all adornments. With an array of lace-trimmed articles, wide ruffles, and fineries made of lace, this openwork fabric, dates back to the 14^th Century in the European Culture. Lace was brought to the American Culture in the 19^th Century, and spread widely by Native American Tribes through missionaries. Thus leaving a long history as a luxurious fabric.

Today we can attribute Black Lace to the Sexy “Bad Girl”. From clothing to accessories, black lace is definitely an embellishment to add to your wardrobe this fall season! So find the perfect piece compliment to your style and work it!

Michelle attended the International Academy of Design and Technology in Chicago, and has been sketching ever since she can remember.  This year she decided to put her lifelong dream of having a women’s line into fruition. The name Chelle Lee, is a combination of her first and middle name Chelle, short for Michelle, and Lee her middle name. Michelle feels the name represents her love for  fashion and embraces her uniquely stylish and jazzy technique of design.

Michelle is in the process of putting the finishing touches on her website, which should be up and running by  the end of next week.  There you can see a vivid display of her Chelle Lee Collection, the pieces are sexy, chic, edgy and timeless; all can be paired with other items in your wardrobe.

Michelle is currently working on her Spring/Summer 2011 collection and is very excited about her present and upcoming collections. She is looking forward to owning a boutique, along with selling in exclusive boutiques in Chicago and other major cities around the world. In the next 5 years, she would love to see her fashions gracing the runway in NY, London, Paris and Milan Fashion Week .
