Muted or jewelled, pleated or crushed, Velvet is the fabric to be seen in this season
Spotted all over the AW18 runways, velvet has this amazing ability to transform an everyday look into something much more romantic and glitzy without being too over-the-top. Whether it’s fashioned into a sophisticated blazer or a glamorous gown, the opulent fabric is the perfect way to add a little festive touch to your winter wardrobe.
Etro
This blazer from Etro works equally well for the office as it does slipped over a dress for your next night out. It’s tailored from plush velvet and lined in smooth satin that’s printed with the label’s recognisable paisley swirls.
Roland Mouret
Exclusive to Mytheresa, Roland Mouret’s Comberton dress is crafted from bordeaux-hued velvet and black crêpe. It features a nipped-in waist for signature hourglass shape and longer sleeves for flattering coverage. Wear yours into the evening with kitten heels and a sleek shoulder bag.
Attico
Sized to hold just your essentials, this Attico pouch bag is made from plush blue velvet embroidered with an Art Deco-inspired pattern of silver beads and sequins that will sparkle beautifully under festive lighting.
Dodo Bar Or
This burgundy velvet Agnes dress is an example of Dodo Bar Or’s modern take on opulence. It’s encrusted with black and silvers beads, and has a gathered top that tapers at the waist, while ruching at the hips accentuates the asymmetric ruffled hem.
Bottega Veneta
Seen on the Bottega Veneta AW18 runway, this jumpsuit is cut from lustrous gray velvet and has an accompanying belt to define the loose silhouette. Wear yours with sky-high metallic pumps.
Adam Lippes
Adam Lippes’ gold-tone trousers have an undeniably lustrous appeal. They’re cut with a high-rise waist and flowing wide legs that finish with straight hems. Style them with a soft blouse and pointed pumps for your next big event.
