Here’s To a Furocious Fall

As the leaves change from their monotonous tones of green to vibrant red, yellow, and orange, our wardrobes follow suit and assimilate to the changing of the seasons.  Fall embodies transition allowing us to experiment with layers, form, color, and texture.  It permits an understanding of playfulness and experimentation when creating a look which, in turn, provides us with the most intriguing lines and runways of the year.  This fall, keep your eyes peeled for fur and leather accent pieces to grace the runways and streets alike.
All along the runway, furs were a prominent part of many shows at fashion week.  Despite the economic downturn, designers kept the glamour alive by using fur accents to create a luxurious palette.  By utilizing these accents, designers can give a look texture and a sense of opulence to an otherwise structured line.  Unlike past seasons, we are seeing fur done in more bold colors- Gucci paired brilliantly bright fur with vintage inspired structural suits to create an era driven storyline.  Fur is even showing up in the accessory closet with hats, purses, and even shoes embodying the ultimate cozy chic ensemble.  In order to preserve these pieces in all their glory, make sure to properly clean and store each garment.  Jeeves will properly remove stains or oils before storage in order to ensure your fur will endure many more seasons.
Along with fur, leather seems to be making a full force comeback.  We’ve seen many leather accented pieces this fall that give an outfit the right amount of edge.  Look for knitwear and jackets with leather sleeves or dresses adorned with leather inserts.  It is important to be aware that leather is best treated by blotting the material and taking it to the proper place to get cleaned.  During cleaning, leather has the ability to bleed so make sure to consult the care tag before any cleaning process.
So, enjoy the evolution of life from light to dark and embrace the endless possibilities fall brings- just remember, with endless opportunity brings garment responsibility.
