FADED SPLENDOUR – Fur + Fabric
FUR TYPES | The mood is for inventive mixes and a haphazard anything-goes-look with a medley of soft touch furs worked in effortlessly feminine silhouettes with more than a hint of retro styling. Dyed rabbit and rex rabbit bring a velvety touch-me-feel-me look into play, while the trembling beauty of feathered fox adds another dimension along with the plushest sheared dyed mink. Dense sable is one of the most luxurious of furs and in this trend it is combined in offbeat almost couture-like mixes of lace and metallic leather effects, while the strokability factor of knitted chinchilla adds another plush touch dimension to the trend.
FABRIC TYPES | A melange of hard and soft textures give the fabrics for this trend a paradoxical edge with the dynamic of subversive leathers and snakeskin working alongside the out-and-out femininity of ruffled sheers, ethereal tulle and lace. Add lightweight textured wools into the mix along with embroidered double-faced qualities for a decorative twist.
