Velvet has been one of our favorite materials to collaborate with. The first time we used it was in our FW17 collection. For this collection, we worked with a deadstock cotton velvet that we found in Virginia to introduce three new/updated styles. The Ikoyi jacket The Ikoyi pant The Ife scarf For fabrics like velvet, which have napped, fuzzy surfaces, we have to take into consideration the type of designs that we can do. The first time we worked with this type of fabric was a corduroy that we used for FW16. This motif is a traditional adire pattern titled family house.
