NEW LOOK
The ‘‘look’ is being interpre=
ted in a hundred different ways.
Not a new fad, but part of the
ever-evolving cycle of things, is
the come~back of velvets that
last made their markinthe ’2o’s.
New man-made fabrics and tech
nologies have now made velvet
a hard-wearing, sometimes wa=-
shable fabric that retains all of
the ‘soft pile characteristics, Qu=
ality, though, is still very much
in relation to price.
The latest development in the
fiber field is the polypropylene
Olefin fabrics that have a ‘built
in’’ stain resistance as well as
claim to being exceptionally dur
able, fade-resistant and rot and
mildew proof.
