(click on the images above for price and store information) WHAT: The hottest ticket this fall isn't a front row seat at Fashion Week (well, that's pretty hot too). It's a ticket to the opera, complete with draped fabrics, damask details and velvet touches. For Fall 2009, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton enveloped their models in rich damasks and velvets in various shades of reds, purples and blues, Balenciaga cut the perfect form in draped dresses and skirts while Miu Miu added the finishing touch with ornate details and jewels sewn onto her skirts, dresses even tights! WHO: Leighton Meester wore Louis Vuitton's paisley print concoction over jeweled tights (perfect opera detailing) while Eva Mendes wore Prada's velvet in mustard to Miu Miu's Fall 2009 presentation. BEST BUY: Cejon's ruched velvet gloves ($43) are the perfect way to add a touch of velvet and opera-inspired style into your winter wardrobe without going overboard. TIP: Velvets and damasks look best in deep rich shades so stick to burgundys, navys, blacks, mustards and purples. Avoid bright colored velvets - they'll only make you look cheap.
