Vogue has decreed that the fabric’s image has been “cleverly revitalised with glossy colour, pretty burnout effects and graphic splicing” – fashion speak for: “I can’t imagine Miss Marple in that.”

Note: dresses like these above are basically your canvas! dont be shy to jewel it up with some cuffs, a gorgeous neckline or you can always go simple with some dazzling studs or earings!

Dolly Jones, editor of Vogue.com, confirms: “It’s no surprise that velvet appears on autumn/winter catwalks, but this season it’s looking better – and fresher – than it has for some time. Proenza Schouler and Ralph Lauren have used modern cuts on sleek evening dresses, while Christopher Kane and Marc Jacobs transformed it with bright colours and original, iridescent finishes.

“Velvet has a romantic, luxurious appeal, but this season it’s been taken in a new direction and there’s no limit to the appetite for innovation. At the same time, it has a heritage that makes you feel you’re buying into a trend that will last, which diminishes the potential guilt.”
