Naked With Clothes On

Sheer and lace was a definite feature for some of the Spring 2011 collections. Even though it is not a major trend for 2011, it was seen on the catwalks of designers such as Erdem, Jason Wu and Eelie Saab. I liked that the designers used sheer in a very sophisticated way by incorporating it in suits and in tailored looks.
