Fall Fashion Trend - Fur Trim

It's time to start looking ahead to our Fall and Winter wardrobes! Even though I sell vintage fashion, I feel its important to study current designer runway trends so I can help you stay stylish while adding unique vintage pieces to your closet.

Designers have been showing lots of fur coats in the last two years. While fur is still hot, we're seeing alot more fur used just as trim this year. Coats, jackets, capes, and suits are adorned with exotic fur at the collar, sleeve cuffs, front openings, and hems.

Here are a few vintage pieces from my store that will keep you "in style" this fall.

A gorgeous late 1950's Lilli Ann coat in pink mohair with a silver fox fur collar. Did I mention it's PINK?

A striking late 1960's grey tweed coat with raccoon fur trim at the hem.

A glamourous 1970's black leather trench coat with fox fur collar.

A sophisticated 1950's salt 'n pepper tweed suit with black mouton fur collar and cuffs.

What a Beauty!

It's not often that I run into a dress like this - what I like to call "Over the Top". This dress dates to the early to mid 1950's, when tulle confections were all the rage. And what a beauty this is!

Pink tulle is layered over more pink tulle with a lining of pink taffeta. Adorned with silver embroidery, silver beads, and silver sequins, this dress literally sparkles. Add to that the white ribbons that are woven over and under the silver beading, and you've got a real attention grabber! Notice how the skirt side panels are even more elaborate than the front and back.

And all of that embroidery and beadwork? Completely done by hand!
