Show I FORECASTS WHAT TO EXPECT A Touch Of Mink Along with crisp breezes, there's a touch of mink in the air. No more the fur for the "Over 40" set or for the very rich, mink plays an important role in the fun fashion scene this fall. w 4J This Ralph Lauren-designed bomber jacket is a beautiful example of how glamourous mink becomes a versatile "fun fur." The younger and the sporty are finding mink jackets the perfect topping for designer jeans, and tweed skirts, the ideal wrap for a quick shopping trip or a day in the country and still dressy enough for a most special evening. Although long-wearing, durable mink will always be considered "the" fur for the full-length classic coat, its npwpcf look is in short casual jackets, some trimmed trim-med with knit banding or suede or leather. Even the name designers have joined in putting their names on the "fun minks." Ralph Lauren designed the mink bomber jacket pictured pic-tured here for the Tepper Collection, in both his and her styles. Bill Blass and Geoffrey Beene have a vested interest in mink with vests that are even warmer and just as snappy as the popular down versions. |
