Fur Fusion

With fur jackets being a staple item in girlswear for years, designers are always looking to reinvent the cozy-chic craze. There’s been a slow build of the multicolor fur jackets for children, with styles spanning all-over rainbow splotches to single-hued gradients. Not to mention all the matching furry accessories popping up that nod to the same multi-hued hype. “The multicolored fur jacket is something we have been tracking since 2015 when brands such as Suoak, Catimini, Billiblush and Bengh Per Principesse started to explore this idea,” says Erin Rechner, senior kidswear editor at WGSN, adding that she anticipates brands to continue experimenting with fur applications outside of solids.  According to Rechner, look out for new appliqué techniques stemming from the FW ’18/19 season amongst brands like Yves Salomon and Raspberry Plum.
