Satin never goes out of fashion. Actually it is lucky to be one of those classic fabrics that is not subject to passing trends. This shiny and consistent silk fabric is not only nice to look at but also to touch making it enthralling at first glance.

Originally from China, the feel of satin is down to the fibres used to make it up and results in it being shiny on one side and more matt on the other. The softness, shine and elegance make it a charismatic fabric that is suitable for evening dresses, underwear or bed sheets.

Satin has become an essential now that draper style garments are in fashion and has become a season must have. The trend of the slip dress – that has been in fashion on and off since the 90s- involves wearing garments considered for underwear, elaborated in silk with lace features for day to day wear. This fashion is combined with more discreet garments of different fabrics to reduce the impact. Nighties converted into seductive evening dresses, lace vests combined with blazers, shirts that emulate the traditional pyjamas. Satin takes over all these bed clothes that are exposed in broad daylight and show their charms at night.

This season, the designers have succumbed to the glamour of satin with various offerings that have already been worn on the streets. The minimalist inspired draper dressers by Calvin Klein. The looks worn by the Saint Laurent princesses with Hedi Slimane as creative director. The pyjama suits by Alexander Wang or Sonia Rykiel and the robe type jackets by Givenchy, amongst others. Pastel colours dominate the palette, soft yellow, mint green, off white, lavender and powder pink.
