Checkmate: checkerboard plaid and lace make for a striking combination


Artist and filmmaker Sam Taylor Johnson looks like a living work of art in this collage of a dress. Chalk-checkered plaid wool mixed with lace - a white lace panel slashed across the midriff to be precise - isn't your usual combination but when it's been made by Karl Lagerfeld it somehow works.

The dress in question is from the designer's Chanel spring / summer 2014 collection. It took art as its theme, was shown on a purpose-built catwalk decked out to resemble a gallery and even had Jay-Z's Picasso Baby as its soundtrack.

We must admit, though that while we'd never usually have put the two together, Karl is definitely onto something. Our favourite by a long chalk is TIBI's delicate drop waisted midi dress - a more delicate take on the trend but you can't go wrong with Mango's lace applique number.
