Dace’s collection of subtle chic

Dace Moore’s seven-year-old eponymous line, Dace (dace.ca), is an exercise in deceptive simplicity. While no one would call a collection of pencil skirts, silky blouses and slim-cut pants revolutionary, there’s something to be said for chic subtlety--like the cool girl whose outfits never scream, but nevertheless make you ache to know their origin.  For example, the Fall 2009 collection features pleated pants in a just-so shade of grey and a blouse with a neck-tie that sweeps to mid-shin with more drama than all the neon in the world could muster.
