Reflections on fabrics, elegance and the charm of velvet
Today we turn to a fabric that has stood for shine and depth for centuries:
velvet. Whether smooth or with a gentle rib structure, this season it enters
our wardrobes with strength.
Velvet has many faces. It appears in formal silhouettes, interpreted in the
business look but with a dandy touch, a play between seriousness and
irony. At the same time, it becomes highly theatrical, with soft movements
that catch the light and create an almost stage-like effect.
What is particularly exciting is the new casual approach: velvet,
deliberately washed out, softened with wear, worn in suits or ensembles
that can even be combined with each other. This new way of styling frees
velvet from its traditional festivity and gives it everyday relevance.
Whether as a suit, jacket or trousers, velvet is always present. It gives
depth, structure and an elegant ease that is both noticeable and understated.
Velvet is a fabric of contrasts: sensual and resilient, formal and free,
classic and yet always new.
Warmly,
Your Lady OZ
