Vouching for Velvet
Over the snakeskin and leopard print trend already? Wear velvet for fall instead!

Velvet: A luxurious fabric reminiscent of medieval knights and princesses in castles. Hence,why it is generally difficult to wear. Until now! Designers from Proenza Schouler through to Cavalli showed velvet -with a twist, in their fall collections.

Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch went for jewel toned pant suits whilst Proenza Schouler opted for fitting, psychometric print dresses. The piece(s) de resistance? Cavalli's futuristic, flowing, velvet and chiffon dresses were simply breathtaking. And all without a maiden in sight.


An easy way to wear this trend away from the catwalk is to go for singular velvet pieces as opposed to wearing the look from top to toe. Carolina Herrera's velvet belt give's an outfit an on-trend look and Theysken's Theory's velvet blazer will add a fashion forward edge to any ensemble.
