fashion blab: fall 2012 - in the name of FUR

I have obviously been stalking Style.com, and those alike, for the low down on all that NYFW Fall 2012 RTW has to offer. This will be the first of a couple posts dedicated to the most predominate trends strutting down the runaway. 

One common thread spotted among most of the shows is FUR. While this is no far leap from the present, it is one that I am most excited about! Particularly, the abundance of fur scarves and wraps. I love the idea of adding a bit of luxe to a seemingly, casual outfit. Band of Outsiders did this perfectly, in that they paired fur scarves and vests to create a fabulously bohemian ensemble.

However, my soul tends to lean closer to the ultra-luxe element that utilizing a fur piece can add to an outfit. Especially, a piece that still allows a woman's shape to be highlighted. I love how Altuzarra, Catherine Malandrino and Jason Wu incorporated fur without swallowing one's shape whole; creating a gorgeous silhouette. 

And then, of course, the fur coat or coat with fur...
