FALL/WINTER 2012 MILAN FASHION WEEK TRENDS
Fur has always been one of the most luxurious piece of clothing to wear, whether it is real or faux, a vest, scarf, handbag, or coat. From minks to Mongolian lamb fur, Italian designers and fashion brands such as Emillio Pucci, Blumarine, Fendi and Versace have all incorporated fur pieces into their Fall Winter 2012 collection!
With bright neon colors such as electric blue, hot pink, orange, and yellow, Blumarine opened their collection with five bright and beautiful colored Mongolian lamb coats. With an all white ensemble, Anna Molinari, designer of Blumarine, paired these bright beauties with matching handbags and silver sneakers, completely dressing down the look , while keeping the colored jacket and handbag the main focus.
Inspired by life and layering, Fendi presented this trend with a multicolored fur coat towards the end of the collection. Reminiscent of nature and wild life, the fur pieces in this collection were paired and layered with earth toned hues such as hunter green, brown, beige, and tan, which ultimately created a very tribal look.
Versace’s secondary line, versus went with a monochromatic approach while presenting this trend of colored fur in their collection. Fuchsia was one of the many colors presented as a head to toe look in this hipster inspired collection, along with brown, blue, purple and yellow. Paring this fuchsia coat with a fuchsia dress is very bold and daring!
If you're a bold and daring fashionista, try pulling off this monochromatic colored fur look like Versus. If you more of a sleek and chic kind of gal that appreciates a bold p.o.c. (pop of color) then go for the "matching set" look presented in Blumarine. If you're more of a fun and funky risk taker who is into a tribal look, go with fur that's layered with earth tones. Not into bright fur? Consider wearing an evening gown with darker colored fur incorporated in a dress!
After creating a line of bright colored fur shawls and cute cropped jackets, Jovani transitioned this trend into evening wear, adding more of a luxurious look into their already elegant dresses. This just goes to show how versatile colored fur can be when incorporated into an outfit.
If you aren't into fur or if fur is just completely out of your reach, this trend will be perfect for you! There are so many fun, faux fur pieces you can use to incorporate this trend into your look. Next Fall, have fun, make a statement and be bold!
