In this article, it is shown the solution of a range of important issues that are necessary for working out of the modern digital stages of a lace costume and lace–like structures. The most complete study of the historical–cultural heritage of lace is a prerequisite for the construction of a classification matrix that highlights the dominant types of lace in certain time intervals in different countries. Understanding the conditions of traditional design of a lace element with an ornamental pattern, historically natural to its time, allows recreating a certain prototype of a lace element, lace costume, lace style image. The classification matrix provides the possibility of authentic adaptation of historical lace ornaments using the 3D printing method and 3D modelling programs. On the basis of selected historical prototype sketching of the interested area of a costume is carried out from the historical art canvas according to the actual measurements of the elements and the mathematical law of similarity, with a subsequent 1:1 scaling. The copy of maximum possible similarity of the historical prototype with the use of special 3D-programs is transleted from the flat intangible artifact of the great artist into a real stylized 3D-object. Through such modular elements, it is possible to assemble a full-value historical costume or a futuristic style image. In this research is carried out retransmission of the rapport elements of women’s and men’s costume collars. The table shows the key steps in the development of historical prototypes of 3D modules in Adobe Photoshop and Autodesk 3ds Max programs. From the designed modules according to the author’s principle, models of women’s and men’s costume in the style of futurism have been developed. The final models in the costume design chain show a complete difference in costume style and purpose from direct historical prototypes, which proves the absolute adaptive ability of lace to the changing conditions of the existence of the costume.
