Fab Tip: Faux Fur, Snip Snip
Sienna Miller's Topshop faux fur coat looked amazing on her (as does Anja Rubik's, left), but it reminded me that faux fur coats often overpower. A while back I bought one, a faux rabbit, and now I know why I haven't given it much wear — it makes me feel gaudy. Thanks to the cold weather recently, it hit me: I couldn't just let that gorgeous brown faux fur sit there, alone.
Fab Flash: Fur Companies Fund Designers
You might have noticed an increased amount of fur on the catwalks last month as designers attempt to break fashion's biggest taboo. Well, it seems its appearance might not be as innocent as you think as an investigation by The Times discovered that some designers are being funded by major fur companies. Danish fur giants Saga Fur and Kopenhagen fur are involved in this scheme to encourage use of the animal fabric in catwalk collections in return for thousands of pounds of sponsorship.
Look of the Day: Fall Fur
One of the best things about Autumn is dressing up in warm, cuddly clothes. That's exactly what deuxfashion did today. Her vintage Fall fur vest looks luxe and luscious.
2010 Fall NYFW Trend: Fur Fest
Let me preface this by reminding you not to shoot the messenger. Alas, in case you haven't already noticed, New York's Fall runways were flurried with fur. Dip-dyed, hooded, hatted, vested, trimmed, bagged, and even shoed (left, at Zac Posen) New York designers continue to have a penchant for fur.
Fab Finger Discount: Anthropologie Wassailing Faux Fur Jacket
Allow me to add to the faux fur extravaganza. I noticed this Anthropologie Wassailing Faux Fur Jacket ($90, originally $168) in store back when it was full price — it looks much better discounted! What's special is the V-neck collar and cropped length.
Love It or Hate It? Fur in Your Home
Fur made a big appearance at New York Fashion Week, but did it register on your home decorating radar? There's plenty of it to be found in the home decor world, including this Adrienne Landau Rabbit Throw ($2400). While I'm sure the throw is sumptuously soft, I couldn't imagine including something like this in my home.
Elizabeth Hurley's Ice Princess: Love It or Hate It?
Elizabeth Hurley's red carpet looks are always elegant. The stunner recently attended the Grey Goose Winter Fundraiser in London wearing an ethereal lavender gown and white fur gilet. A metallic silver clutch and diamond bangle are her adornments of choice.
Fab Flash: The Truth Behind Faux Fur
Did you know that many faux fur coats that are sold in the U.S. are actually made from dog fur? The Humane Society of the United States reports that 24 out of 25 jackets that have been tested, were incorrectly labeled.
Fab Flash: Bebe Goes Anti-Fur
Following in Nicole Miller and Stella McCartney's footsteps, Bebe has announced that it will discontinue selling any products with fur beginning in January 2008.
Over the past year, the clothing chain has been reconsidering their fur policy, and only used fur created as a byproduct. The animal fur they use makes up less than 3 percent of their currently available products.
Trend Alert: Fur Vests
It seems every winter fur vests surface. This luxurious piece creates Aspen chic when thrown over a skinny turtleneck and a great pair of slouchy boots. I have found some updated versions; some faux, some luxe, and one super cute (and cheap!) shearling number.
