The Pleasingly Touchable & Sumptuous Fabric of Kings
Velvet has always been a luxurious fabric associated with royalty. Hair artist Virginia Martinez @ Yoko-Pels chose this object of desire for its extraordinary softness and the complexity of its manufacture. It's the perfect idiom for hair - loaded with a strong symbology of power; velvet has been present in the pompous cloaks of medieval kings and on stage with artists like Prince. Today velvet has been democratized and is part of our wardrobe, although it is still associated with sumptuousness.
