Every Season there is at least one trend that all us fall in love with. Last season, there were exclamations about utilitarian jackets worn over floral dresses at Louis Vuitton, and the seemingly unfinished and shorn masterpieces from Prada and Jil Sander. I was so impressed by these designers’ creativity, I couldn’t decide on just one trend to highlight. So, over the next couple of days, I’m going to break down the a few of the best velvet that I have discovered in the fall of 2010 here.

My personal favorite is velvet, which seems to have replaced leather as the new cashmere!
From the fearless use of the material in Joseph Altuzarra’s collection of impeccably tailored crushed velvet skirt suits, echoing the days of Tom Ford at Gucci, to Anna Sui’s tactile, rich take on a flapper, I was completely wowed. Below are a a few standout looks of the 2010 Velvet
