VELVET

It's the quintessential fabric for autumn winter—the rich sophistication of velvet lends itself well to the cold winter months. Pair this season's jewel and darker palettes with opulent velvet in Emporio Armani's navy blue dress, add urban polish to a black knit with Fendi's gold skirt, or carry the day with Tarun Tahiliani's inspired velvet drape on a red brocade sari.
