TEARS AND LACE
Tears and Lace is the translation of a microscope image of a tear into lace, by Darquer Lace of Calais, now Darquer & Méry. This lace comes out of a pairing of affinities between the intricate structures of lace and tears brought together in life’s intimate moments. When I first saw the image of this tear through my microscope, it made me think of lace. Years later, in creative collaboration with Darquer, it became lace. Tears and Lace was conceived as a lace with a meaningful path, embodying the poetry with which we fully embrace life and love. Tears & Lace inaugurated Darquer's collection of Artist Lace in 2015, under the artistic direction of Stéphane Plassier, after seeing this tear exhibited at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, part of The Topography of Tears series in the exhibition Le Bords des Mondes, curated by Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel. Schiaparelli's design director Bertrand Guyon, chose Tears and Lace for his creation, Les vases communicants, and this dress was exhibited in Haute Dentelle, curated by Sylvie Marot, at Cite Dentelle, The Museum of Lace and Fashion in Calais, FR. The exhibition, renamed The Art of Lace, traveled to the Textiel Museum in Tilburg, NL from November 2019 to September 2020. Sylvie Marot's statement, Une Dentelle de Larme, tells this story. Tears & Lace is included in the Cotsen Textile Traces Study Collection, at George Washington University / Textile Museum, Washington DC,
