Fur took the runways by storm for Fall/Winter 2011. Everyone from the unpredicatable Miuccia Prada to minimalist Phoebe Philo of Celine had fur in their collections, whether accents or full-out jackets. A huge trend was big, bold colored fur from The Row, Gucci, Marni, and Prabal Gurung. While this trend is nice on the runway, I don't really want to look like the Cookie Monster...If you want to try this trend out for yourself, I would suggest doing a colored leather jacket, or jeans in an unpredictable colour.
Of course we are right on the fur trend, but in a more wearable way: a vest! Customers have already been asking us: "How will I wear the fur vest?", "Can I pull it off?". My main suggestion is to make the vest your focal piece. You don't want it competing with colored denim, a huge necklace, or in my case, a curly mass of hair. Keep everything else clean and simple. Wear the fur vest with a 3/4 length Joie silky top, and skinny jeans, or try a more fitted Vince cashmere turtleneck with flared jeans. You need to wear the fur, don't let the fur wear you!

We will be carrying three different versions of the fur vest for fall from Doma, Mackage, and Joie. The Doma vest is already in stores, and is probably the most subtle of all three. Of course we will be blogging when we actually receive the vests, but there is a limited quantity ordered. If you are interested, don't hesitate calling the store, or commenting below.
