Breaking news: Velvet is in again. That’s right, your favorite ’90s trend is back with a vengeance, but to be honest it never really went out of style: this fuzzy fabric has been in use since the Middle Ages and originated in the East – China in particular. In fact, Iraq and Egypt were pioneers in velvet production.
Velvet isn’t actually a different kind of fabric – it’s the way fabric is woven to create those luscious tufts of yarn that notch up the glam of any outfit.
