sareez June 7, 2017

Exploring with velvet is now a part of 2017’s fashion ensemble. This regal, plush fabric is ruling the fashion books of the designers with its own vintage charm. From cocktail parties to wedding functions and from short velvet dresses to velvet lehengas – the fabric has been adding vivaciousness to one’s overall look. Though, the fabric takes you back to the days when the king and queen donned it. Unfortunately, velvet disappeared from the fashion runway, because of its thick and heavy nature.

Tarun Tahiliani

Fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani has taken a nostalgic route of introducing velvet either vividly on the entire body or at the end of ruffled hemlines.

He personally feels that there was always a replacement for this fabric as it’s quite expensive and hard to maintain. But now due to trend-oriented designs, velvet can be worn even in summer without making you look gaudy.

Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra exuded funk by adding ruffles and velvets to the lehengas.

Dramatic detailing inspired by cultural influences, hand woven embroidery with an addition of layering has been a high rise this season. Malhotra’s – The Persian Story collection showcases some of the opulent pieces of Bardot blouses in velvet which is quite an eye catchy to imbibe.

Designer lehengas available online have been coming in myriads of colors apart from maroon and black. Try adding a twist to your sartorial collection by adorning colors like beige, neon, blue which is taking the fashion runway by storm.
