FUR FOX SAKE!

FUR COAT: SOTTOGRANDE, SPAIN | T-SHIRT: RIVER ISLAND | BOOTS: SIMMI SHOES | NECKLACE: PRADA | SHADES: DOLCE & GABBANA

‘Same color t-shirt’.

It’s not exactly a white t-shirt but this whole look with my woody, bare tree backdrop reminds me of the Migos T-Shirt video shot in Lake Tahoe with white snow on the ground, brown fur patch coats & dyed tip fur pelts everywhere.

I’m gonna ‘do it for the culture’ & pull off this shaggy fur coat with glitterati appeal with a t-shirt & D&G sunglasses.

Patchwork fur is a great outerwear trend. It makes an intricate pattern, gives a fur coat uniqueness because no two jackets or fur pelts are the same & is usually done with a monotone colour palette. I paired my coat with a long t-shirt dress & thigh high boots.

On one of my European trips to a polo fanatic city for a tournament, I found this beautiful patchwork fur coat with sheep, fox & mink patches.

A coat like this off the runway can range between $5,000 -$8,000 dollars. I got a great deal of €2,000 (or at least that’s what the saleswoman convinced me of) nevertheless, I love collecting classic fur coats that remain timeless.

Fur fox sake, is this weather fur real? -18 degrees celsius? You goat to be kidding me. As fur me, I bearly wear fur coats but in this infuriating weather, can I really be warm in anything else? If you like word puns, you’ll love this paragraph.

TWEED-LE DEE

COAT: VINTAGE | ANKLE BOOTS: SIMMI SHOES

The best cross-breed or cross-tweed for that matter is a dress-coat. This type of hybrid, versatile piece is perfect for the fall to stay warm & snug, yet practical & stylish.

Showing off some cleavage & shoulders gives this modest, lady-like look some sex appeal. 

There is nothing twee about tweed. Tweed is a borrowed fabric from menswear & perfect for sturdy garments. This reminds me of a classic vintage Chanel coat & I'm always excited to steal great finds from my mom's closet. I paired my coat dress with black perspex ankle boots from Simmi Shoes.

CAMO-COMEBACK

CAMO PARKA: GHOST LABEL | SUEDE BOMBER: UNKNOWN | TOP: VINTAGE | SKIRT: RIVER ISLAND | BOOTIES: SIMMI SHOES | SUNGLASSES: RAY BAN

Camo made a hot comeback this year in bold camouflage threads showcasing different colours, straying away from the traditional green on green, green on brown print all over the runways. Kylie just added camo caps to her online shop, selling camo everything from sweatpants to bikinis & even lighters. The print is officially back. 

The ultimate key to the camouflage print is to keep it minimal & wear it in moderation. Choose one army printed piece & layer it to give it that utilitarian edge. Feminine accessories give camo a touch of fragility from the strengthening power this fabric brings representing clever protection in military tactical history. Transformed to fashion today, this look is far from blending in & stand out pieces of army print are in.  

Camo print is part of the military trend & it is officially a fashion-must-have after Lutz Huelle 2017 Spring Ready-To-Wear showcased a range of colour lined camo print jackets. 

The interest in menswear is at an all time high for trendy women everywhere with 'oversize' infiltrating all jackets. I chose to pair my oversized water-repellent, wind-resistant camouflage Ghost Label ASSASSIN Parka with a vintage buckle turtle-tank with cut outs & nickel grommet features that compliment the grommets on my Simmi Booties, a suede fern green bomber, & my River Island khaki snakeskin split-front pencil skirt. The tailored skirt adds that feminine edge I was talking about. Altuzurra 2017 RTW made the snake skin/python fabric a must-have this season, pairing the textured fabric with different prints as I have done here. Where did I find this military base to shoot; well that's my best kept secret, let's just say I had to camouflage with my backdrop to get in!

The unique colours of this red & green army makes it a killer statement outerwear piece for that tom-boyish trend.

"This bold red infusion into the classical camo print conjures up images of a victor coming back from war covered in the blood of his enemies." Ghost Label

This look is trends on trends on trends. Mesh socks with military ankle booties, layering a bomber jacket with a hoodie, animal prints, unique cut-outs, & camouflage.
