Fashion month is over, and the catwalk results are in: we’re piling on the belts, leaning towards extra large pearls, and big bloomers are about to be everywhere – you can thank Chloé for that. Yet, it seems the most visible trend taking over almost every catwalk, from the household names to the new up-and-comers, could actually be the most controversial, as fur makes a comeback after years of people campaigning against it. And it seems attitudes are starting to shift.
To paint a quick picture: Gabriella Hearst made a vintage mink coat the star of the show, Elie Saab sent fur coats, shoes and bags down the runway, adding a ‘sumptuous finishing touch,’ according to the show notes, and Fendi created fluffy coats that looked like fox, mink and sable out of shearling – more on that later.
