Damask

So It has been trendy for sometime and I love it! It looks great in so many colors and can be used for almost anything, for me its like the less skanky leopard print. ( I love leopard print, but sometimes wearing a tight leopard print dress you can be mistaken for a hooker. You gotta keep it classy.)


A Little History of Damask:
Damasks were one of the five basic weaving techniques of the Byzantine and Islamic weaving centres of the early middle ages and derive their name from the city of Damascus which at the time was a large city active in both trading and manufacture. The word "damask" is first seen in a Western European language in the mid-14th century in French. By the fourteenth century, damasks were being woven on draw looms in Italy. (Thanks wiki lol)
