Toronto Fashion Week trends: furries
No
doubt, fur is one of the markers of class, prestige, sophistication and
what some fashion magazines refer to ad nauseam as “luxe living.” We’ve
seen Muppet furs on pretty much everyone on the Internet,
and now it’s time for Toronto to show just how “CanadaCool” it is by
throwing on a utility vest with gorilla chest hair peeking out. If
that’s too subdued for all you tastemakers, try a fun belted number made
from bleached dreadlocks. Here are but five of the furs we saw last
night (we counted up to 12), proving that nothing beats the cold like a
soft, lush fur, draped inelegantly, as though the wearer had actually
shot a Himalayan snow monster, bought Manic Panic hair dye, and turned
it into this winter’s must-have vest.Gallery: looks from Amanda Lew Kee’s all-grown-up spring/summer 2012
