Fashion is a cycle of reincarnation. Looking at the fashion elements in the past two years, we seem to have returned to 20 years ago. Among those popular elements that are making a comeback, velvet with a low-key sense of luxury must be ranked.
Velvet, which has a very contemporary feel, has fluffy short hair on the surface. It not only feels soft but also has a drapey feel. It has always been a popular fabric in autumn and winter. With the resurgence of retro style, this year’s velvet style is even more fierce. “Not only favored by fashionistas, velvet material is also very popular with brands. For example, Dior launched the 2020 autumn and winter fashion velvet series in September this year. Velvet is used in classic Lady Dior handbags, Dior Book tote bags, Saddle saddle bags, DiorCamp Various accessories such as messenger bags and wide straps,” said Cai Peihua, founder of Master Studio/Chao Chuang School.
Elegant and dreamy. Velvet is an element that can easily add points to an outfit. It doesn’t require too many complicated combinations. It can exude a high-end elegance when embellished or used on a large area. Velvet skirts, velvet suit jackets, and velvet wide-leg pants are popular daily items at the moment. Cai Peihua told reporters that velvet is divided into real velvet and velvet made of chemical fiber. There are many types of velvet made of chemical fiber, and the price ranges from a few hundred to several thousand. Due to price reasons, the audience for real velvet is relatively small, and most of the products on the market are made of chemical fiber materials. In the past two years, more and more down jackets and cotton-padded jackets are made of velvet material. The “strong combination” of temperature and fashion has met people’s growing needs.
In order to learn more about the velvet fabrics on the market, the reporter came to the Textile City North Market to find the answer. Coming to Li Fen Cloth Industry, a whole wall of animal prints attracted the reporter’s attention, “We mainly sell Korean velvet. These 30 types of Korean velvet with animal prints are newly launched recently. If customers need it, they can also Make it into velvet.” Li Fen said.
It is understood that Korean velvet uses four-way elastic, which is 95% polyester + 5% spandex. Li velvet is made of pure polyester and is a woven fabric. Li Fen said that velvet is the general term for cut velvet silk fabrics, most of which are composed of specialized warp threads that have been cut. Velvet has fluff on the surface, feels good, has good wear resistance, does not pill or shed. Like Korean velvet, it is also elastic. It can be used not only in clothing but also in home textiles, car interiors and handicrafts. But it is not resistant to high temperatures and cannot be ironed with a high-temperature iron.
Shaoxing A staff member of the Qingye Textile sales department told reporters, “Customers who came to pick up goods before mentioned that the sales of velvet wide-leg pants have been good this year. Most of the goods recently taken are used to make trousers.” Since velvet is made of polyester It is made of polyester, so it has the same wear resistance as polyester. The fabric is not easy to break and is not prone to pilling and shrinkage. Moreover, the fabric is tight and thick, so it also has a very good thermal insulation effect, and it is also very suitable for making into a base layer shirt.
“We not only have velvet, Italian velvet, but also ice velvet. Ice velvet is a relatively old brand of velvet. It is derived from the fabric produced by polyester flocking cloth processing technology. Due to the action of the light source, It forms a gorgeous effect that seems real and illusory, so it is mainly used in curtains, stages, KTV and other places.” said the staff of Qingye Textile.
The designer’s nostalgia has promoted the reincarnation of fashion elements. Whether people once loved velvet or not, it does not prevent it from becoming a popular element today.
