Silk & Cupro Clothing
The VIKTORIA & WOODS edit of silk and cupro clothing brings together two fluid fabrics with a natural command of light, movement and touch. Silk brings its rare lustre and storied elegance to the wardrobe, while cupro extends the fluidity through refined modern separates.
Long prized for its otherworldly sheen, silk carries a status few fabrics can. It’s easy on the eye, gentle on the skin and chosen by those who understand its value. A silk shirt under tailoring, a silk top worn alone, a silk dress after dark: each piece carries sensuality through movement. Cupro extends the language. Derived from cotton linter, it offers a smooth hand-feel, gentle sheen and silk-like drape.
The VIKTORIA & WOODS Silk & Cupro Clothing Edit
At VIKTORIA & WOODS, precise construction, refined seam work and minimal detailing allow the silk to hold focus: its lustre, its movement, its fall against the body.
The classic silk blouse moves alongside sleeveless tops and halter necklines and through work, evening and weekend dressing with composure and elegance, sitting cleanly beneath tailoring, worn alone after dark or taken off-duty with denim.
Silk Skirts, Pants & Dresses: The Full Edit
Silk becomes more expressive across a full silhouette with a float no other fabric can imitate. In a silk skirt, the movement gathers at the hem. In pants, it falls through the leg with a liquid line. In a dress, the fabric moves as one continuous surface, catching the light from shoulder to waist to hem.
Across silk skirts, silk pants and silk dresses, the effect is controlled but sensual: pieces shaped by drape and the natural movement of the body.
What is Cupro Fabric? The Silk Alternative
Cupro is a V&W material signature, derived from cotton linter and regenerated into a smooth, breathable fibre with a silk-like drape. VIKTORIA & WOODS uses cupro for the way it sits close to silk in feeling, while bringing its own structure and fall. It holds fluidity with a touch more weight, giving dresses, separates and soft tailoring a polished surface with liquid movement.
How do I care for silk clothing?
Every silk dress, top or garment has its own unique care instructions, so you should always consult the label before laundering. Silk is delicate, and many pieces are best dry cleaned or gently hand-washed in cold water with a silk-friendly detergent, then dried flat away from direct sunlight.
What is the difference between silk and cupro?
