Weaving into the fabric of winter
Fabric seems to finally be getting all the attention it rightfully deserves in fashion. Whatever the season, fabric choices are essential to setting the trend and after years of accessorising and focusing on embellishments and cuts, designers across the ramp have trained their sights on the star of the season fabric.
While the trends for each season are based on the whims and fancies of the fashion houses, this year, the fabric used was a common thread connecting all the looks. The theme seemed to be rich fabrics and we not talking the season regulars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like leather and fur. This time around, it materials like velvet and brocade that seem to be showing up heavily on the fashion radar. The perfect way to look luxurious without overdoing the bling, these rich materials not only have the perfect luxe feel to keep you comfy through the cold but they also add that touch of opulence and royalty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while still staying chic.
Winter never looked as good as it did when Cara Delevingne walked the ramp for Burberry Fall 2012 collection at London Fashion week in a purple velvet quilted coat with a draped, blanket front. The strong shoulders, the slim waist and the flared skirt were feminine chic at its best but it was the deep colour of the rich, quilted velvet fabric that set the tone for the season this winter, it all about staying warm in opulent style.
Shimmery, soft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], luxurious and once considered the privilege of royalty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], velvet made a big comeback this season with its presence being spotted on dresses, pants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], jumpsuits and even accessories like shoes and bags. If you still haunted by memories of the garish velvet frocks that ruled the sixties and early seventies, then take a look at brands from Burberry to Jason Wu, all of whom have used this opulent material in their own way to create style statements for Fall 2012.
Burberry saw plenty of velvet in their Fall collection this year, from the purple quilted coat to a deep blue assymetrical pencil skirt with a ruffle on the front and a peplum-ed violet knee-length number the rich, sumptuous fabric was a prominent feature at the iconic British label collection this season.
Another statement in velvet was Gucci full length emerald green printed velvet dress with a plunging neckline, which clearly set the tone for the collection effortlessly luxe look. Velvet palazzo pants and smoking jackets in rich colours were just icing on this velvet cake!
And the men can get on the velvet bandwagon as well Burberry fall collection for men had suits made entirely of velvet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in colours as varied as pewter and bright khaki, while Canali range of velvet jackets that came in bright colours including red and pink.
Rachel Zoe velvety take on the classic jacket and trousers, Lanvin velvet little black dress or Ralph Lauren deep red velvet three-piece suit how much or how little velvet to incorporate is a personal choice, but rest assured this velvety goodness will see you through much of this season.
Nothing spells glamour and opulence quite like brocade, with its hints of gold and satiny fabric in rich colours. If romantic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], feminine and flowy were key words for couture designers this season, then it was all with hints of brocade and in some cases brocade took centrestage.
Ferragamo went all out for opulence this season with sheer dresses with brocade detailing to go with the baroque-inspired theme that was predominant. A gold brocade high-waisted pencil skirt teamed with a sheer purple blouse seemed to exude the same luxe feel that has featured across labels. Not just the clothes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even accessories from the label seemed to share the same luxurious look with velvet finding its way into embroidered handbags and velvet strapped heels.
Exotic luxe seemed to be the phrase that Stella McCartney metallic brocade platform pumps bring to mind and for those looking to incorporate just a teeny bit of brocade into their look this season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these shoes are the perfect thing.
Dolce Gabbana, who went baroque all the way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], giving their collection a heavy dose of black and gold with brocade. Embroidery and embellishment teamed with capes, corsets and lace ensured that this was a collection that was everything sumptuous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rich, baroque,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and proud of it.
Jason Wu Fall/Winter collection was inspired by the orient and his use of brocade juxtaposed with dark greens and blacks created a look that was sleek and yet luxurious in a subtle way. Military inspired coats and dresses had panels of brocade that added a touch of gilt, giving it a rich look that seemed reminiscent of Chinese royalty.
Proenza Schouler seemed to share the Asian inspiration as seen in their embroidered oriental brocade mini dresses that seemed to be their interpretation of the Japanese kimono. Clean straight lines and asymmetrical hemlines combined with rich brocade made these dresses stand out in their ready to wear collection this fall.
Other designers who channelled rich brocade into their looks were Marni, in brocade pantsuits, Marchesa, in white and gold brocade dresses, and Balmain with their embellished minidresses.
The beauty of brocade is that the clever use of this material can create a look that is luxurious and opulent depending on the amount of fabric used. Touches of brocade in panels or used only in accessories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], provides a touch of luxury but when used in dresses or jackets, the material creates a look of opulence reminiscent of vintage regalia and royalty.
Party season is right around the corner so when you picking out that special outfit, try a hint of velvet or brocade and walk out looking like you red carpet ready.
