The velvet is the must-have fabric of this season for your collection Fall-Winter 2017-18.
Versatile and classy, velvet has a soft and bright texture, ideal for both daily events on evening outfits.
The name velvet comes from the Latin term “vellus”: coat, fleece o mantle, which main feature is a short, thick fur called cohesive velvet or, if provided with small fur rings on the surface, curled velvet.
First traces of velvet go back to the legendary Silk Road and it has been introduced, first in Europe and then in our beloved Italy, thanks to the commercial genius of Arab merchants.
The velvet has been immediately appreciated by noblemen and noblewomen ever since, inspiring artists such as Tiziano, who has portrait many subjects dressing it. The new collection Fall-Winter 2017 – 18 has reinterpreted this cloth in a sensational, pop manner. The result?
Casual-chic… and highly luxurious.
