WOMENSWEAR TREND FW2016: Can Touch This

Velvet is out of it’s dark, Gothic corner for good. Thanks to Valentino (yellow) , Vetements (gold), Alberta Ferretti (pink) and Dries van Noten (purple) we now all know how highly desirable colored velvet can be. And as the high street stores are filling up with velvet pieces we have a feeling this luxurious fabric might become one of this season’s biggest trend. How could it not when every major brand has presented some velvet on it’s runway. One by one outfits begging to be touched. Remember that all green Haider Ackermann suit? Or that leopard printed red Etro dress? Not to mention the Prada and Fendi dresses with patches and embroideries. Oh and let’s not forget that jaw dropping navy blue, one shoulder dress Ralph Lauren sent out. So many style options there’s a velvet match for everyone. Whether you’re opting for suits (Ferretti, Lanvin, Ackermann), dresses (Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Dries van Noten) or jackets and coats (Ralph Lauren, Vetements). Your everyday fall outfit is finally getting the royal touch it deserves.
