Kate and Lila Moss Just Wore The Velvet Fashion Trend In Two Totally Different Ways

If both Kate and Lila Moss debut a new-season trend, you know it won’t be long until I’m searching for it myself. Both stepping out in France’s fashion capital for a series of fashion week appointments, the two models styled a new autumn trend that’s been flying under-the-radar for the past few months. Wearing the rich, decadent, and cold-weather-ready velvet fashion trend, the pair reminded me that they’re both regarded as modern trendsetters for very good reason.

Styling their velvet garments to very different effects, the two let their personal style shine through via their outfit pairings. Lila took a moodier approach to her outfit, pairing her velvet trousers with a rich leather jacket, black almond-toe boots, and a suede bag. By styling her velvet trousers with other heavy fabrics including suede and leather, Lila brought out the plush and lavish energy of the fabric, creating a rich-looking outfit that can take her well into the winter months.

Taking a lighter approach to her velvet styling, Lila’s mother, Kate styled her velvet jacket with a sheer floral dress in a light and fresh colour palette.

Well overdue some time in the sun, it looks like it won’t be long until we’re all styling the reemerging trend, too. Bringing it back to the fore, the A/W 24 runways indulged in the luxurious fabric—sending down supple suiting at Dior, decadent dresses at Giorgio Armani Privé, and sculptural silhouettes at Ashi Studio—all laden in the textured design.
