What is oroton fabric?
Oroton fabric is a material popularized by the Italian designer Gianni Versace. Instead of cloth, the silk-like material features links of hard metal. The fabric first debuted in the early 20th century but didn't become well known until appearing in Versace designs in the 1990s. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Versace apparel and accessories.
