I don't wear fur but those are just plain amazing!

The title of this thread is actually quite a smart word play, for fur we need to (over)kill (this is NOT an anti-fur statement, I just want to mention this little wordplaything). Fur seems to be everywhere this season, in all kinds of colors and all kinds of pieces of clothing (jackets, big collars, only sleeves, little capes, sort of bodywarmers, I've even seen a skirt but can't remember where). The last one pic of #13 is really an overkill to me, it's just too much.

^ Oh good Lord, the fur skirt Looks like a cross between a mermaid & Clan of the Cave Bear ...

I agree with Spike about Kors, even though I'm not a fan of fur, I quite like the bright ones, especially the hot pink for some reason Of course they couldn't be any more impractical ...

in love with this thread
I think this weekend if I can I'll go on a hunt for fur at the fabric shop
Still contemplating on how it would be appealing on a guy... I think it's so well done in a lot of the designs here, for women, even if the fur is quite bulky... the woman still looks great in them. Hoping to find a more 'elegant' approach

^ Any of the times I've seen a men's fur piece that I actually liked it's always been a kind of fur that's very sleek, like astrakhan or something that's been sheared.

 

[gius]

oh astrakhan!!! yes yes! thank you for telling/reminding me that is a really beautiful fabric

i guess sheared ones will look like velvet
with just a bit more body

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I must say, the way astrakhan is 'made' is particularly ghastly

The Jose Castro furs are I think the reason that we are seeing so many furs though is because they will never really go out of style unless you maybe buy one of those Neon furs but then I'm sure anyone who buys one of those doesn't really care what anyone will be thinking about them 2 seasons from now. Furs are something that can realistically be in your wardrobe forever.

If only I had the money.

^^ If I recall, the astrakhan process is pretty awful.
^ I think though the neon furs are pretty, the prices are bound to be sky high and if so if someone is looking for an investment hand-down-to-the-grandchildren piece, they'll more likely be looking for something a bit more undistated that could be worn tastefully for generations.

^ Of course, if one is a Daphne Guinness type, that hot pink could practically be considered a basic
