“FUR” The heat is on!

THE GLORIOUS FAUX FUR :

Hello Autumn Lovers 🙂 

As we have moved to the fall season how can we not begin with the love we have for Fur. Exotic Fur is my Coronet!! 

The primitive stories of Fur began when men would go hunting and wear fur on their bodies to protect themselves from the weather conditions. Boasting of a lion skin on their body was a sign of power, vitality, strength and courage. Fur was known for the “contagious magic” it had on the one wearing it, passing the strength, courage, power, skills, fertility to a human being. And the same feeling progressed to the sensibilities of men and women after centuries. The fashion world caught the same vibe of feeling exceptional adorning Fur and yes it continues to feel the same even today.

Fur boasts of the glam and luxurious styles of the rich and famous. It is warm, cozy and sexy. Fur was worn as a symbol of wealth and social status in the 11th Century.  To be honest Kadarshian’s have impacted the fashion scenario from the last three years  by flaunting fur coats gloriously, showing off their voluptuous bodies that popped many eyeballs.

Needless to say that the luscious fur coats are a must have for every winter wardrobe. As a child, I have memories of mom wearing them and since then I knew that a beautiful fur coat had a special place in a woman’s heart and closet.

The European Royalty loved Fur coats, capes, accessories made of mink and sable. To my surprise there was a law introduced in the 1300’s, that regulated which social classes were allowed to wear which types of furs…Quite a discriminating law I must say but it was changed later.

Fur was completely loved in the Victorian Era and by the 1800’s they were also worn by men and women. Women wore fur coats with fur on the collar, wrists and at the Hem. By 1950’s the glitterati started wearing them in the movies, parties, social events etc. intensifying its rage among all. The designers now started creating new styles by introducing shorter fur coats. With much demand for them, a happy news floated for the animal lovers – Faux Fur was introduced in the 1960’s making it affordable for most people.

I am glad to see that Faux Fur came into being that early in the fashion industry. I am an animal lover and so much so, I turned into a vegetarian a decade ago. I don’t feel any less than a goddess wearing Faux Fur.

Faux Fur is magical as they are made by machines and they overtime have become denser and better quality with better acrylic polymers. Technology has been also used to  produce environment friendly BIO FUR, which is less damaging to the environment.

Fur makes you look exotic. It defines your personality and adds to your sex appeal, that doesn’t go unnoticed. Fur coats and accessories make one look an absolute diva. I feel a halo around me when I am cozy in my Fur.

I love my cool grey suede fur coat as it is light in weight, which makes it easy to travel with. I have teamed it up with black shorts, stockings and a turtle neck top and have accessorised it with a chunky belt and edgy boots. This is my favourite look for the fall season as its stylish and simple to put together. Its comfortable and chic.

I love the length of this coat as it protects you from the cold and is not too heavy to party in style. Sometimes the weight of a coat can be such a turn off……I am not a fan of heavy clothing, as I feel it absorbs my aura. So I love this coat for its colour, fabric, cut, detailing, weight, length and comfort. And not only that it is pocket friendly aswell.

It gives me immense happiness to share the number of brands offering vegan fur coats  – Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang, Elisabetta Franci, BB DAKOTA, HUGO BOSS, Unreal Fur, Zara, H&M, TOPSHOP, Bershka, Yves Saint Laurent, Nilli Lotan, ACNE, Just Cavalli, Max Mara, Dries Van Noten, Vivienne Westwood, Donna Saylers Fabulous Furs are to die for.

A few more brands like Adolfo Dominguez, Furless, Morphe, River Island, Charley Calder,  Shein etc. have very stylish Fur clothing and accessories you would not want to miss out on.

Thats not all, theres more good news for you all that, brands like Versace, Gucci, Furla, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Armani have declared that they will no longer be using real furs in the year 2019. 

On that note get yourself an exotic fur coat / accessories and envelope yourself in its spell.

Much love to you all

Happy Winter
