Velvet: Season 1

Spain's sexy, blockbuster television series takes you to the golden age of haute couture late 1950s Madrid - where silk, sensuality and seduction flourish in a clothing emporium where everyone would like to go shopping at least once. Velvet Galleries is an Art Deco palace, a magical place of dazzling luxury and glamour. What shoppers don't see, however, is the tender love story unfolding in the Galleries between humble dressmaker, Ana, and Alberto, the owner's son and heir apparent. Among elegant fabrics and haute-couture dresses, Ana and Alberto yield to their love, knowing full well that Alberto's family opposes his relationship with a poor young employee. While Alberto rebels against family expectations, Ana, who longs to become a designer, struggles to assert herself as a creative personality. As family conflicts simmer, the star-crossed lovers Alberto and Ana fight for their destiny and pursue their forbidden love.

In Season 1, the owner of Velvet Galleries presents his son Alberto, newly returned from London after years of training away from the family and away from his illicit love affair with humble seamstress, Ana Rivera. Albertos return and his reunion with Ana will reawaken family tensions but this time Alberto is willing to fight for Ana as he did not fight in the past. The two lovers are ready to break with family expectations and the norms of the time.
