Show FASHIONS O4 Nidcawrigrit Well, summertime is definitely over, and with cool weather fast approaching, fashions turn to wools and furs. Fur is such a versatile medium, also lending itself beautifully as a trimming. This is an important note fashion-wise fashion-wise this fall. Designers are using fur as an accent, the 'touch of fur for an elegant look. The clever woman can inexpensively inexpen-sively smarten her wardrobe with the luxury look by using bits of fur discarded ends. Don't discard that old fur coat or that old fur collar. There is enough for trim for a new garment, or perhaps to line the jacket of a suit. A touch of fur on a hat can make a costume smart and complete. Try a muff or fur with your costume. Just a touch can lift your outfit out of an ordinary look to an elegant one. I knew one clever woman who designed and made a very smart suit using real leopard trim. The fur was salvaged from one of those antique animal rugs with the stuffed heads. If the real thing seems out of reach, there are attractive imitation furs that will add the elegance needed to simulate the smart look this fall and winter. Larger furs, such as fox makes elegant trim for cuffs, collar or muffs. Use it only once, however for good design, that is, never a fur cuff, collar and muff at once. Smaller furs, such as persian lamb, broadtail, etc, can be used in more quantity. You will find it creates a smarter costume to use the fur as just 'a touch'. |
