The off-duty update: A velvet cover-up

Velvet is as cozy as it is luxe, which makes it both the ideal fabric for a daywear-elevating jacket and the perfect way to lend a seductive finish to eveningwear. Dundas, Alexandre Vauthier, Bottega Veneta, Acne Studios and Dodo Bar Or are the labels to look for, offering everything from robes and kaftans to down jackets and winter coats. For styling inspiration, Attico designers Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio are the undisputed queens of modern velvet: think color, decadence and a complete – and brilliant – disregard for the ‘rules’ of fashion.
