Marissa Match x Material World

Decorative fabrics have moved in and out of fashion for centuries. Brocade and tapestry arrive with history already woven into them, leaving designers plenty of room for modern interpretation.

Retrofête’s Sulvie dress takes brocade into evening territory, with its metallic surface and feathered hem doing much of the talking. Gianvito Rossi’s satin mules pick up the feathers, while Silvia Furmanovich’s ruby and diamond papel marche earrings introduce black lacquer and another layer of intricate workmanship. SIMKHAI’s striped calf-hair Piedra bag brings the same appetite for texture to accessories, pairing black and brown with gold hardware. Brocade, feathers, calf hair, lacquer, diamonds. Style this richly worked deserves somewhere equally interesting to go.

Woven Fluid Tapestry Pant-BROWN-4-CLOTHINGPANTSLIM FIT-RALPH LAUREN

Rich texture takes center stage in a look that celebrates the art of the unexpected. Ralph Lauren’s Woven Sport Coat brings depth through plush velvet, while the Woven Fluid Tapestry Pant introduces an intricate pattern for a luxurious play on materials. Zahn-Z’s Diamond Champagne Ring adds brilliant dimension, complemented by the bold Onyx Citrine Big Zaha Ring for a sculptural contrast of color and shine. Together, velvet, tapestry, diamonds, and gemstones create a tactile mix that makes every detail worth a closer look.
