StyleFoul: the yeti fur coat

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

I know that celebrities are not always responsible for bad fashion choices. They have stylists working for them, so sometimes the fall for a bad fashion move shouldn't land on their famous shoulders. But celebrities do pick their stylists, and as a result, I think can hold them culpable for the occasional blundering move, like this awful fur coat that Eva Longoria wore around Paris earlier this week. I'm not a huge fan of fur coats to begin with, but she was in Paris, and as they say, when in Paris... And yet of all the fur coats out there, I can't for the life of me figure out why she would wear a coat that looks like it was made of a brutalized yeti hide. This coat is splotchy, poorly shaped and completely overwhelming on her petite frame.

So listen up, people: yeti fur coats are a definite STYLEFOUL!

Fall trends? Think fur

Filed under: Runway Trends, Clothing

So, yesterday the weather in fair Washington, D.C. topped out at a balmy, humid 94 degrees. Had I been by the pool or inside in an air conditioned house, I would not have complained. But I can't say that I enjoyed either of those activities. Instead, I was on location, shooting an editorial fashion spread for fall. (I dabble in the art of the human clothes hanger, by the way.)

What seemed to be the fashionable theme of the day was fur. Rabbit, chinchilla, mink -- if it walked on four legs, you can find it in a coat this fall. (Noted exception: there are no armadillo jackets.) Now, fur is not exactly my style, but if it is your style, and you happen to have your granny's old mink stole stashed away in the closet, by all means, October would be the perfect time to pull it out.

Notice that I said October, and not August. Believe me, fur in August is not much fun.
