For most fashion lovers, Fendi bags and furs are always high on the covet list. For Autumn, the flat-front remains the bag silhouette du jour, while furs take on the relaxed appearance of a robe one might throw on while entertaining good friends. It’s an equation that’s turned on its head by the fur itself which is anything but laid back, but rather bold and very rock ‘n’ roll. More on the next page.  

A close-up of the spring 2010 Louis Vuitton boots, which were a tad controversial back when they first showed. Even I, label-ho to the death, was a little scared by them (albeit in a good way). Though six months later and after a fashion month that featured fur out the wazoo, including Karl doing a furry-friend tribute show, these Marc Jacob-designed boots now look almost safe!

Like I was saying before, there’s no comparing attending a show versus watching it online. You see the trends attendees are wearing, which, fur, fur and more fur–and it was worn despite the rain/snow, you discuss your impressions of the show itself and you see things that just don’t show up on one-dimensional videos. My partner, Samia, snagged the utlimate show chat partner in that she was seated to none other than Miss Jay! And yes, he’s at least as much of a hoot in real life as he is on “America’s Next Top Model.”  When I showed him the image above, he snapped back, “I look 11-years old,” which, lol, can’t argue with that!

Click through to see some of the fur looks, plus Miss Jay’s five-finger ring, which matches (!!) his mani, and fashion maven Zandile Blay.

Miu Miu’s pre-fall line is nothing if not charming and I could definitely see myself never taking off the fur on the left for a winter season. Or for that matter, the plaid coat on the right. You take the white knee highs out of the picture and you have some outerwear that’s wearable but still original and doesn’t turn heads as much as quietly seduces you.

Check out the plaid pants and matching coat after the flip. Tough to imagine wearing as a duo, but either piece on its own is slick.
