Mimi Prober uses antique lace in her clothing

I was listening to a podcast today, called "Dressed: History of Fashion". They interview people on a range of topics, some are current designers, some are film costumers, some are historians, etc. 

This particular interview was with Mimi Prober, who is apparently using some antique lace in her designs. I can't link to that specific episode, but there are 2 parts. What I heard so far was part 1, in the middle they talk about the lace part.

I went to her site to see what her stuff looks like: Mimi Prober Campaign.

I don't know how deep she is on it, but it's nice to see appreciation for the old textiles and see them get new life. And she did appreciate the hand-work of them.

    I know Mimi. I made some bobbin lace for a FIT farm to fashion project that she was part of. The thread was linen that we grew, processed, and spun. It was a bit like burlap but came out okay on the garment she designed!
