Fabrics in Fall

It’s easier than you might think to add velvet into your wardrobe and with this season it doesn’t have to be head to toe glamour. Here are a few ways to wear Fall’s finest fabric:

Colour

Colour is the easiest way to make velvet look modern. I love the bright yellow of Marc Jacobs, and the teal of Alberta Ferretti but the key is to stick to jewel colours, the richer the better. And then there’s black, and shades of black especially leaning towards the midnight blue spectrum. Always understated and chic, and always in style.

Texture

I’m definitely a texture girl, I’d choose playing with texture over playing with colour, maybe it’s just a comfort thing. I love the idea of this delicately decadent fabric next to big chunky knits. But it would work just as well next to vintage leather, big sequins, and satin (so pretty much anything then). So it’s easy to dress up or dress down. A velvet jacket over an abaya would look amazing.

The Burn Out Effect

Well it’s not exactly a new effect, but in it’s old incarnation (think mauve florals) it looked dated. Designers hadn’t taken full advantage of this amazing technique, which when used by the right designer can be awesome. Loving the Proenza Schouler looks.
