One interesting observation from the London Fashion Week fall 2018 collections is that it seems the designers here are not editing their collections as closely. NY shows averaged around 25 looks while London was close to double. And while some might say that too many looks can be overwhelming and confusing, in London more is […]
Throughout these fall 2018 collections literally hundreds of editors have rushed from the shows each day to write their reviews, post their photos, and share their opinions. It is a lot to absorb. But, our perspective is just a bit different. After all, we are Furinsider and our job is to go just a bit […]
As we wrap up the last of the NYFW Fall 2018 shows one thing is clear. The designer love affair with fur carries on. And why not? Nothing matches fur for pure tactile and visual luxury, coziness and warmth and boundless creative possibilities. Add to that the benefits of working with a natural, renewable, sustainable […]
Why are so many designers including fur in their collections again for fall 2018?

But here we are still covering New York Fashion Week while the London shows wrap up BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY DESIGNERS INCLUDING FUR IN THEIR COLLECTIONS!!! We’re […]
A key trend emerging from the NYFW runways for fall 2018 seems to be a blending of utilitarian elements with soft, feminine twists and plenty of rich luxurious touches. We see it, for example, in the pop of fox patches on a trenchcoat and the juxtaposition of a rubber catsuit under a plush fur coat. […]

Adrienne Landau puts the fun in luxury fashion. And as she celebrates the 40th anniversary of her eponymous Adrienne Landau label, a label marked by innovation, constant evolution and clear artistic vision, we felt it was high time to bestow upon her our Diva we Love title.

As the curtain closes on the London Fashion Week Fall 2017 collections we can’t help but feel that there was something missing. The experimentation and irreverence of recent seasons was toned down. There were few examples of the eccentricity or over-the-top opulence we look forward to here. Still, designers delivered on the British trademarks of […]
The London Fashion Week Fall 2017 collections began with all the expectations and hype that we are used to. London is known, after all, for bold creativity, eccentric design and skilled Savile row tailoring. As the first few shows of the week kicked off, things seemed a bit tame here. There is no shortage of […]
