Israeli actress Ania Bukstein appeared at the “The German” series screening at the Series Mania Festival in France this week, wearing a black lace gown by designer Idan Laros. Bukstein, who is in an advanced stage of pregnancy, is the latest celebrity to embrace the lace trend.
Laros also designed the black lace jumpsuit worn by actress Magi Azarzar at DJ Ofer Nissim’s Purim bash.
Kamali’s bohemian aesthetic has fueled a resurgence of lace in both high fashion and mainstream retail, making it a go-to fabric for celebrities and consumers alike.
The prominence of lace in spring collections has positioned it as a popular choice for the upcoming Passover holiday. Many fashion brands now offer lace jumpsuits, suits, dresses and blouses in soft, pastel tones — ranging from pure white to creamy butter and ivory shades.
The latest designs incorporate sheer fabrics, geometric cutouts and colorful lace combinations, giving the timeless fabric a fresh, modern appeal.
Lace, as we know it today, dates back to 16th-century Europe, where skilled artisans in Italy and Flanders (now part of Belgium) crafted it by hand. Once a symbol of nobility and royalty due to its labor-intensive production, lace adorned luxurious garments, scarves, gloves and even home decor.
By the 19th and 20th centuries, industrial advancements made lace more accessible, integrating it into everyday fashion beyond aristocratic wardrobes. It became a staple in evening wear, bridal gowns and lingerie, maintaining its reputation for romance, elegance and sophistication.
