Miuccia Prada has just started a lace revolution, when her legion of girls strutted down the fall runway in gorgeous lace dresses of black, brown, bronze, silver and pale blue.

I used to think too much lace makes you look like someone with a fetish for girly lingerie, but Prada has proved me wrong. Worn with long-sleeves and a below-the-knee skirt length, the Prada lace look is an uncanny mix of modesty, sexiness and femininity.
