Metropolis: FUR + FABRIC
FUR TYPES | The fur types within this trend should symbolise the strength and elegance which are the mood’s influences. We see the beauty of classic furs taking centre stage – furs like sapphire or iris mink, lynx, chinchilla and silver fox, maybe used in offbeat combinations or knitted to create elongated fluid silhouettes. We love the look of sheared furs offset with the contrast of full lynx or fox for statuesque silhouettes, played out in soft shades of grey and warm honeyed browns. The look is one of quiet luxury, considered and measured, giving luxurious full furs a sleek modern twist.
FABRIC TYPES | The trend offers great potential for subtle decorative treatments with geometric effects inspired by architectural patterns and a modern spirit. Structured metallics or metallic wool suitings look sleek and modern and are inspired by the colours and textures of a futuristic urban landscape.
