Velvet!

So many every day fashion staples have been influenced by the east that people don’t even realize. Velvet has always been associated with nobility, but that association began because Middle Eastern royals were the first to wear it.

These days you can find modern day royalty such as Kate Middleton, or America’s version of royalty, Angelina Jolie sporting this lush fabric in different ways. We are mad about this black velvet jacket Kate Middleton was seen wearing! We also love that as prim and proper Kate’s velvet jacket is, Angelina Jolie’s more masculine velvet trouser suit is just as elegant. 

This versatile fabric looks amazing as a dress too. We here at silk threads adore rich colors, such as the royal purple of Emma Roberts Ferragamo mini dress and the royal blue of Vanessa Hudgens crushed velvet Catherine Malandrino. Plus, adding a blazer with closed toe shoes makes this look perfect for the office!

Of course, Silk Threads has been all over the velvet trend! Take a look at this stunning magenta lehnga. Our completely velvet skirt is embellished with eye catching stones that sparkle in any light. The blouse includes a corset style lace up back with fine, net, short sleeves. Below is a close up of the intricate stone work.
