Not Your Grandmother’s Lace Antonija Bucić

Project description

The materials for the creation of the women’s collection Not your grandmother’s lace were collected from the Sharing is caring group. Among them, discarded materials and hand-crocheted textiles are found. By researching the dating of these objects and handwork, they can be most associated with the late 80s and 90s, as evidenced by numerous examples from the magazine Svijet, which at the time featured modern and luxurious women’s clothing items in the same issue. The collection questions where the once-popular crochet work, a part of every household and fashion in former Yugoslavia, has disappeared, and if such discarded, „ugly“, and outdated items and fabrics be transformed into something.
