Tuesday, December 2, 2008 Right Now: Fur Wars
As you may have noticed, the store’s palette has become increasingly darker as the fall is turning to winter. Two things I’ve been lusting after this season are shaggy furs and deep, rich tones. I was floored when I recently came across a piece that combined the two. More on that later.
Shaggy fur is a trend that’s been big for a few seasons now, and is back at full force this year.
A few of my favorites:
Ann Demeulemeester
Dolce & Gabbana
Searching for vintage is a bit like searching for the holy grail, in that there is only so much out there, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Because of this, every find is like a victory, and this coat was one serious victory. An oversized piece in forest green Mongolian Lamb fur, it’s got to be one of my all-time favorite finds ever. The color is so deep, it soaked up our studio light and forced me to adjust the exposure. If only I could pull it off…
