VELA is opening fall with a statement: Fall Foreword. 

Built on the axis of dark academia and warm retro interiors, the lineup treats autumn as the opening chapter of the year, when layering becomes instinct and colour carries weight.

The palette leans into depth: jewel-toned solids, grounded greens, and blues with a lived-in edge. Plaids arrive as seasonal staples, flanked by leopard patterns and rippling textures that keep the collection from ever feeling static.

Beyond the season, VELA moves past hijabs. VELA folds in apparel and accessories that complete the wardrobe equation. The season includes side-slit tops, sport stripe pieces, and gold-detailed charms that function as subtle finishers. Everything is built with versatility in mind, intended to carry you from early fall into the sharper days of winter. 

This is VELA at its most deliberate: hijabs, apparel, and accessories that feel grounded, adaptable, and built to last well past the season’s end.

Solids

VELA sets the tone with four core solids that anchor the collection. They’re available across Double, Standard, Mini, and Square sizes, making them adaptable whether you want coverage, compact styling, or something in between.

• Storm Blue — a moody shade that channels academia and rainy sidewalks

• Vintage Indigo — inky and nostalgic, like a page pulled from an old book

• Fig Latte — earthy warmth with a jewel-toned richness

• Pine Green — heritage green that grounds the collection’s palette

These solids are designed to be reliable building blocks - the shades you’ll keep reaching for long after the season has shifted.

Prints

Prints are where the collection moves from steady to expressive. Each design plays a role, from sharp plaids to animal-inspired textures, giving fall a rhythm that alternates between classic and contemporary.

• Crimson Mood — a dark, romantic pattern with crimson detail (Standard, Mini)

• Tortoiseshell — a neutral with subtle animal influence (Standard, Mini)

• Snow Leopard — black-and-white leopard done with a crisp finish (Standard, Mini)

• Chocolate Leopard — rich browns layered into a striking motif (Standard, Mini)

• Peacock Bloom — bold jewel tones with peacock-inspired colour play (Standard, Mini)

• Mixed Plaid — an academic staple reworked with multiple tones (Standard, Mini)

• Black Chantilly Plaid — sharp lines in a grounded monochrome plaid (Standard, Mini)

• Pink Chantilly Plaid — plaid softened with a lighter, feminine touch (Standard, Mini)

• Chocolate Ripple — swirling brown texture that echoes autumn terrain (Standard, Mini)

• Olive Dunes — desert-toned greens with a natural, weathered look (Standard, Mini)

• Mocha Dunes — warm mocha tones given a fluid, rippled pattern (Standard, Mini)

The mix feels deliberate: plaids for heritage, leopard for edge, ripples and dunes for texture. Together, they build a print library that works across settings; academic, casual, or dressed up.

Apparel

For FW ’25, VELA pushes beyond hijabs into apparel that works as part of an everyday uniform. Cut from an 89% viscose, 11% nylon blend, the pieces balance structure with ease, moving seamlessly between layering and standalone wear. Sizes run from XS to 3XL.

• Side Slit Top — Colourways: Pink, Olive, Truffle, Oak

• Sport Stripe Top — Colourways: Olive, Oak 

• Sport Stripe Pant — Colourways: Olive, Oak 

Each piece is straightforward in design but tuned to the season: versatile cuts, grounded colors, and fabrics that wear well with both solids and prints. They’re the kind of pieces that become staples, not extras.

Accessories

To round out the drop, VELA delivers accessories that act less like afterthoughts and more like finishing details. Gold tones give the line a subtle lift, with pieces produced in limited numbers to keep them special.

• Charm Metal Hoop — 18K Gold 

• Pom Charm — 18K Gold 

• Emerald Hoop — 18K Gold 

• VELA Charm Keychain — 14K Gold 

These aren’t meant to dominate an outfit but to underline it — the punctuation marks that close out a look.

The Season Ahead

With Fall Foreword, VELA builds a collection that isn’t locked to one season. The solids are timeless, the prints cycle between heritage and edge, the apparel introduces layering staples, and the accessories bring it all together.
