^ love that white velvet dress.. it looks very soft and less stiff to wear.
it kind of reminds me of those MJ did for his SS04 collection.

yes! definitely... the last dress i posted from this year's MJ collection also reminded me of some of his previous work... must have been that same collection.

i don't know if i could pull of something like that myself but in theory i love the look it

So much velvet!!! I can't say that i like this material but i associate velvet with vintage style and some vintage things are very chic sometimes.

^ that last dress is incredible!
A rather difficult color and material to pull off but it just looks wonderful.. I'm thinking the best way to go with velvet dresses is with that draped/20s shape, it adds a more natural volume. Also love the idea of a velvet scarf , but more in black, like those Ann Demeulemeester did a few seasons ago (for her menswear show, I believe).

Green velvet is so rich and beautiful!

 

[ponytrot]

Oh YES! I love it!
Wow, the Nanette Lepore collection looks gorge! Gotta check it out

 

[ChrissyM]

i think the nanette lepore dresses are quite beautiful as well.. the way the light plays on that deep mossy green with the drapes and folds is really lovely

and i agree about those 20s shapes and silhouettes.. i think that's why the light colored MJ look and that last anna sui look is so successful and well done

I looove green, black and silver velvet. The red seems kind of cheap to me. I love green especially, wow!

 

[softgrey]

i'd say this is going to be a big trend this season throughout the collections...

not sure i really like it...
...

so far i don't really care for how it's being used...

 

[PonyShow]

The Antonio Berardi is lovely! One of the few non-disgusting pieces of this trend.

This is one of those trends that I really just have a hard time wrapping my head around, velvet is such an unpleasant fabric - it feels nice but it just looks so bad most of the time. I've been putting together a compilation of all the red velvet looks this season and 9 out of 10 of them just look tacky to me.

Perhaps it is because velvet just reminds me of the old couch my parents had in the basement when I was growing up
