Fendi Fall 2013: Fur Real
Fendi seemed to want to make a point this season about how much fur could be used in one collection and on how many items. Each show-goer was given a folder containing several of Karl Lagerfeld’s sketches–one of which announced, “Fendi is Fur; Fur is Fendi.” Arrows pointed out where on the model there was fur, and, of course, there was so much of it that the page was covered with them.
Maybe designers Silvia Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld wanted to make their pro-fur stance clear, in light of PETA’s constant badgering of the house. Or maybe, in a season where almost every designer is showing some clever take on fur, they wanted to lay claim to it: Begun as a furrier and leather goods brand in 1925, the Italian fashion label has had plenty of time to perfect their fur craft.

Editor’s Pick: Leah’s Favorite Dry Shampoo
Fashion week is fast approaching which means lots of dry shampoo. I’d even wager to say there’s probably an uptick in sales of dry shampoo in New York during fashion week when so many of us are too busy to wash our hair like normal people. Gross but true. This one, by Klorane, is my favorite. It’s also Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite. So. There you go.

Into the Woods at Chanel Haute Couture
PARIS: A pile of sand–dry, not the kind dumped on top of the icy streets outside–and a small forest greeted guests as they entered the Grand Palais this morning for the Chanel Haute Couture show. Sounds of birds chirping could be heard in the distance. A wooden walkway curved through this small pine and oak forest. At the summit of the climb was a semi-circular Roman amphitheater–the perch from which fashion’s elite would take in the collection.
Dear AP, What Does ‘Lesbian Couture’ Mean Exactly?
We thought it was interesting and exciting and newsworthy when Karl Lagerfeld closed today’s Chanel couture show with two brides holding hands, symbolically showing his support of marriage equality in France.
The AP nabbed the story first, but they used some strange language to report it. We’re talking specifically about the phrase “lesbian couture.”
