The Lake & Stars Fall 2011 RTW
This past year The Lake & Stars designers, Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman, received the 2011 Ecco Domani prize and added underwire bras and shapewear to their line. Dekker describes the line, "as a crossover ready-to-wear collection and more of a designer line and less of a 'What do you wear as a bra and underwear?'" This makes sense because in the past few seasons we have seen lingerie become more visible as outerwear. The designers said that they were inspired by the interior of the Met, and Superstudio the 1960s/70s Italian architecture firm and ideas in their manifesto, Life Without Objects. Artist Francesca DiMattio contributed custom textiles to the collection.
