Collars, Cuffs, Hoods & Hemlines
These are examples of the fur trimmed coats that were shown on the catwalks for Autumn 2008/ Winter 2009. There were many coats with large collar variations especially fur collars and lots of fur coats. Fashion designers are using fur along hemlines, and also as decorative trims to open-front coats. Above is a coat by Dennis Basso, suit by Monique Lhuillier and puffa white coat by Blugirl.
Sleeves have certainly been getting the designer treatment this past couple of years. Huge deep fur cuffs were used on luxury coats as well as on puffa style jacket coats; note also the matching fur hood on the right. Images courtesy of Swarovski.
