Velvet Wonder

Who would have thought – just a few seasons back –  that velvet would make such a strong reappearance in fashion? It has become not only acceptable, but also even coveted. As it’s a grand and rather opulent fabric, you can either embrace its drama (which I will soon when I’m going to wear the kimono with the matching pants) or tone it down by paring it with denim or suede.

Hvem ville have troet – bare et par sæsoner tilbage – at velour ville gøre sådan et comeback? Nu er det ikke blot acceptabelt, men ligefrem eftertragtede. Eftersom det er sådan et “overdådigt” materiale, kan du gøre to ting. Enten omfavne det, hvilket jeg har tænkt mig at gøre snarest, når jeg hopper i de matchende bukser, eller nedtone det og bruge det sammen med denim eller ruskind.
