Styled:Velvet Edition

Winter naturally calls for heavier, rich and luxurious fabrics. Velvet has been adorning the shoulders of the rich and regal since the beginning of time.  The highly prized textile symbolized wealth, power and prestige amongst social classes.  It was mainly reserved for elite members only.  The reason it was so popular with nobility and appreciated today is due to the rich colors of dyed velvet. It's safe to say the velvet trend is back and it's for everyone. 

The key to styling your velvet garments this season is by pairing it with tough leather accessories or pair with fabrics of different textures.  Keep the silhouette clean for a more modern appeal.  Breathe new life into your vintage velvet pieces. Be inspired by these women rocking the trend on the runway.
