PLANETARY NIGHT – Fur + Fabric
FUR TYPES | The furs for this trend encompass both classic furs and the contrast of pelts with dimensional texture. Think of the luxurious rounded plushness of sable and fox sitting alongside dyed mink and soft grey squirrel, offset with the contrast of Swakara, smooth velvety Tianjin lamb and the long-haired impact of Mongolian lamb. Colour is important to update classic furs, with the emphasis on a range of chiaroscuro greys and purple for dusky berry-toned palette, all reflecting the mystique of the mood. We also see novelty furs working within the look with knitted rabbit or mink highlighted with futuristic metallic yarns.
FABRIC TYPES | There is a play of contrasts for the fabric types within the mood, reflecting both the retro and futuristic influences underpinning the trend. We see decorative jacquards and silk brocades, sleek satins and opulent prints contrasted with masculine suitings, treated coatings and satin-backed crepes.
