A material that has repeatedly graced the Fashion Week catwalks over the past few weeks is velvet, Stella McCartney displayed the material in the form of quilted outerwear, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi ruched pink velvet and Dolce & Gabbana took the crown for the most beautifully embellished and embroidered velvet for sure. Velvet holds strong connotations of a regal and affluent nature and therefore is often paired with colours which have similar qualities such as deep purples, blues, reds, greens and black which is demonstrated within the collections I have displayed below. I have noticed that many Autumn/Winter 2016-17 RTW collections feature embroidered or embellished velvet, including garments from the Roberto Cavalli and Fendi collections presented below. Embellishment and embroidery also hold affluent and luxurious qualities allowing them to compliment and work well alongside velvet.

Velvet has not only been a popular material in the from of clothing garments within Autumn/Winter 2016-17 RTW collections, but has been hugely adopted for accessories also, from Valentino and Dries Van Noten's velvet shoes to Prada and Ralph Lauren's velvet bags. The texture of velvet makes it the ultimate Autumn/Winter material, and I expect could quite possibly become the material of the party season 2016.
