Trend Alert: Ready-to-Wear Fur Fashion
If you’ve only been thinking about fur as an option to bring luxe style status to outerwear and accessories…think again!! Designers seem to have something totally different in mind this season as the creativity explodes in fur and boldly fur-trimmed ready-to-wear. Based on what we’ve seen coming off the global runways we can only conclude ready-to-wear fur fashion is no longer just a one-off status…it’s now the norm; and we love it.

Director Sofia Coppola attended a red carpet event in a stylish Louis Vuitton mink pullover that earned her a best dressed nod.

Even Eva Mendes rocked a risque fur ensemble a few years ago
A favorite celebrity trend that designers are fueling is the fur skirt or fur-trimmed dress which creates an edgy and definitely distinctive style. We have to admit, the fur skirt is not for everyone. Depending on the placement of the fur and its bulkiness, this furry look can add the appearance of extra poundage from the hips down. It all depends on the cut, the tailoring and the volume of fur added. But with plenty of options available there is a great furry skirt look for virtually any woman.
