70s inspired fur coats

Just in a month before Fall ready-to-wear shows start, I would like to concern one of peculiar and mine adorable new fur trend. It might only appear at catwalks, but it will gain its power in next few seasons for sure.

So, in fur coats for the next season there is a silhouette inspired by glam of 70-ies. Knee- or full-length coats with shawl collars and exaggerated shoulder line made of fox, arctic fox or racoon fur.

The novelty is in sleeve length - now it is 7/8, in unnatural fur colors and in production techniques that make a garment as light as a feather.

When choosing this type of coat you should be aware of volumeness as this style talks of richness and attracts attention aiming admiration of the audience.

To my mind, this is a new chick that we need after the years of modest luxury.

The inspiration can be found in a new film by David O. Russell "American Hustle".

Here is Jennifer Lawrence reading her lines prior to shooting scene at "American Hustle". She is wearing a full-length natural color racoon coat with shawl collar. 

You could also come across the prototypes in last FW shows. For example at Saint Laurent show. A knee-length pink arctic fox coat:

Here it is styled with glam punk garments but just imagine it with full-length silk indigo dress! 

Finally here is a street-look presenting a champaign-colored fox fur coat by The Muse By XASSA:

Shortened sleeve and length give a modern twist to the mom-inspired silhouette while the color and volume strength its fashion image.

So let's think about it, let's play with it! 70s are coming back again!
