Yet one artist has decided to shirk this assumption by creating lace veils for different parts of the body other. April Dauscha crafts delicate covers for her [tongue, eyes and face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-bijoux) in an attempt to push boundaries while also exploring concepts of "morality, mourning and mortification." Captured in both photos and videos, Dauscha's lace veils are not as innocent as they may first appear. She introduces a [sensual undertone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) to lace veils creations that speaks louder than words. She writes, "Lace speaks of purity and sexuality, it reveals and conceals, it is humble, yet gluttonous in its ornamental overindulgence; lace is the ultimate dichotomy. I use it as a potent symbol to represent the duality of body and soul, right and wrong, good and evil." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternative Lace Veils:** The trend of creating lace veils for unconventional body parts opens up opportunities for alternative fashion expressions and boundary-pushing designs. - **Sensual Lace Veils:** The introduction of a sensual undertone to lace veils challenges traditional notions and creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry. - **Symbolic Lace Veils:** Using lace veils as symbols to represent duality and dichotomy sparks opportunities for storytelling in fashion and pushes boundaries of artistic expression. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore new markets and design possibilities by incorporating lace veils for unconventional body parts. - **Art:** The art industry can find disruptive innovation opportunities by using lace veils as a medium to explore concepts of morality, mourning, and mortification. - **Photography and Videography:** The photography and videography industry can capture the unique visuals and sensuality of lace veils in creative and eye-catching ways, offering new avenues for artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delicate Bridal Lingerie Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-lingerie-line.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Inclusive Lace Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md)
