"Last week during the Paris shows, the fashion crowd could pretty much only talk about four things: a) the Chanel iceberg? b) the Lohan and Ungaro break-up c) the theatrical Viktor &amp;amp; Rolf strip-down? and d) the amazing amount of fur&amp;amp;#8212;real and faux&amp;amp;#8212;on the Fall 2010 runways. I heard lots of yeahs, nays and &amp;quot;only if it&amp;#x27;s vintage&amp;quot; statements from the style crowd, but am wondering what you lovely ladies think? Nina Ricci &amp;amp; Sonia Rykiel, Fall 2010 We&amp;#x27;ve chit-chatted about fur before of course&amp;amp;#8212;namely about the idea that fur might have lost its taboo, the fact that faux fur is having a major moment as well as the odd phenomenon of men in fur. (Kanye, here&amp;#x27;s lookin&amp;#x27; at you!) And it goes without saying that the plush material (long a key component of both the Old Hollywood and ladies-who-lunch style) has been wrapped up in ethical, animal rights issues since the late &amp;#x27;70s (Today&amp;#x27;s fashion FYI: PETA was founded in 1980). But the abundance of fur at the recent runway shows&amp;amp;#8212;which featured every different kind of fur you can think of including fox, sable, shearling, mink and more&amp;amp;#8212;is a definite conversation-starter. And it&amp;#x27;s a trend that brings up a lot of new (trick) questions we haven&amp;#x27;t really tackled here yet on STF. For instance... The can&amp;#x27;t-miss fur. Is it perfect for the trend-setting fashion rock star or tailor made for someone who wants to say &amp;quot;Hey, over here, look at me!&amp;quot; with their outfit? Lanvin &amp;amp; Miu Miu, Fall 2010 Faux fur The best option since it&amp;#x27;s animal-friendly, less expensive and more realistic looking than ever before? Or the totally tacky option (no matter how real it looks)? Chanel, Fall 2010 The colorful &amp;quot;fun fur.&amp;quot; Does wearing one make you look like a savvy, risk-taking fashion guru or more like Oscar the Grouch&amp;#x27;s taller cousin? Emilio Pucci, Fall 2010 New furry styles. Fuzzy skirts mean never having a cold bum again while fur hoodies take a running out for errands outfit up a to Hollywood-level glam. Right or wrong? Michael Kors &amp;amp; Thakoon Little fur accents. A Victoria Beckham-worthy way to dress up your old t-shirt and jeans, a silly waste (really, a furry handbag?) or possible replacement for your ragged old teddy bear that you not-so-secretly still have stuffed behind your pillows just &amp;quot;in case&amp;quot; you need it to fall asleep (really, a furry handbag!). Thakoon, (Michael Kors &amp;amp; Marc Jacobs handbags), Fall 2010 As you can see, there&amp;#x27;s a lot to discuss about the whole fur trend, and folks are all over the map on what they think. (I know a few lovers and haters, and oodles of on-the-fencers.) So now I&amp;#x27;m throwing it out to you: Are you loving fall&amp;#x27;s fur looks? Turned off by &amp;#x27;em? Think fur looks luxe or gross? How &amp;#x27;bout faux fur? Would you wear any of the outfits above? Have anything with fur--real or faux--in your closet right now? Think fur has a time and place--like parties or formal events--or is it OK to wear Monday thru Friday too? Are they too showy for you to feel comfortable to wear? Or do they give you a boost of fashion confidence? Sound off in the comments below, dolls! For more conversation-starting updates from the fashion world, follow us on Twitter!
