Velvet – The Fabric Of Fall
The history of velvet is somewhat fuzzy, but the first English
reference to it was in 1278, when a king’s tailor purchased the
fabric in Paris for the kings bed. More than 700 years later you
don’t have to be a king to afford to wear velvet.
You’re seeing it everywhere, in every shade. Carefully created
into dazzling jackets, dresses, handbags, boots, pumps and
flats. You will find velvet this fall in an array of rich, deep
colors like navy blue, emerald and red, meant to make a fashion
statement. You can’t be shy and wear velvet this year!
Alice & Olivia offer a velvet military jacket in navy with
leather piping. Nanette Lepore offers an embellished velvet
jacket in muted shades with a peacock feather print. Moschino is
showing a dress saluting the paisley craze. It’s a lovely cognac
velvet halter dress with a medallion print. One of the standout
velvet creations this season has to be the Cynthia Steffe
strapless velvet empire dress. It features a dark green bust
trimmed with golden ribbon. The dress falls into a three tiered
nutmeg colored velvet skirt which falls just below the knee. The
bottom tier of this dress is beautifully embellished with gold
and green floral embroidery. There are only two words to
describe this dress – rich and opulent.
Shoe designers have always loved velvet. Yves Saint Laurent is
offering a beautiful crossover velvet sandal in olive. Christian
Lacroix offers an unexpected twist on chic with his dark brown
velvet sandal which is made an absolute must have with the
addition of a teal and black wool flower on the heel. You have
to check this shoe out. Can somebody say perfect for any
upcoming holiday celebration? Shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo
is offering a Victorian inspired velvet pump in a rich wine
color. He also shows a very strappy and sexy black velvet
platform sandal, perfect for evening affairs. You can pair these
sandals with a cropped jacket in teal velvet and black satin
pencil pants, perfect!
Don’t forget to check out the wide array of velvet bags. Hobo’s,
clutch bags and totes are shown in velvet. Giorgio Armani is
offering his signature tote in croc-embossed velvet. Gucci is
showing a green velvet shoulder flap bag accented with a
crocodile trim.
Splurge and buy yourself a spectacular velvet piece this fall -
you won’t regret it
