MODERN RUSTIC – Styling
Styling for the trend relies on simple silhouettes, where subtle fabrications are the blank canvas allowing the quiet luxury of the fur to shine through. Detailing is minimal, lending a clean modernist edge to the look with unexpected fabric combinations teaming smooth flat textures with plush dimensional furs. Colour too is a discreet melange, working round nature inspired greys and neutrals with hints of blackened metallics. Longer lengths bring an almost utilitarian feel into play, a new aesthetic when combined with fur.
FIG 1| Sleek minimalism colours this silhouette with its longer utilitarian length balanced by a slightly higher set waist, coupled with the ultimate in simple styling details offset with the plush contrast of shaded silver fox sleeves.
FIG 2| Here, the accent is on layering and opposing textures for a look that is both functional and luxurious. Discreet metallic highlights add lustre to classic tweeds, layered under a raw-edged unstructured and unlined fur jacket, which is quietly beautiful in its imperfection.
