Perhaps it would be fun to imagine that we were going to have a
gallery show
of modern/contemporary lace, sample title "Is it modern or is it
contemporary", and who we would include in such a dream team show.
I think a list would include:
Anny Nobens
Lenka Suchanek
Susan Lambiris
Aurelia- of course
Wako Ono
Junko Samejima
Jana Novak
Ilske
Jane Atkinson
maybe those people who make the wire fences
A couple more in the US, if we're gonna sing the peans to the unsung
modern designers...
Elizabeth Mc Donald (of Pennsylvania; IOLI Bulletin front cover, Spring

Radmila Zuman

who, like Lenka Suchanek and Jana Novak, is an expatriate from
ex-Czechoslovakia, which reminds me of a couple of (ground-breaking
IMO) designers still there:
Milca Eremiasova:
http://www.gallery.cz/gallery/cz/milca-eremiasova.html
and
Zdenek (?) Dolezal (?) I hope some of our Czech readers will straighten
me out on this one; I'm looking for a guy who's designing dncers and
all I'm finding is some 'puter geek :)
Out of curiosity... How will you decide which names should or should
not go into the virtual gallery of the modern/contemporary/cutting
edge/creative lace designers? Since "clumsy/ugly" vs "elegant"
(Aurelia's standard) is not, really, an objective measure, but a highly
personal judgement?
