Friends and Faux



|| Shrimps Look Book ||

|| Prada Spring Summer 2014 || 


Why so serious? Self-mockery is a long running trait of fashion. Hence the popularity of Brian Lichtenberg and What about yves. Fashion likes to be witty. Shirmps – a new faux fur label based in London – is a perfect representation of that. The young label’s aesthetic is so comical that it is blatantly not the real deal, yet such fun interpretations are like a breathe of fresh air – a typical British tongue-in-cheek sense of humour.

On the high-end spectrum, we have Prada. Miuccia Prada is probably the only designer who reinvents her woman season after season – she also makes you want to reinvent your wardrobe, too. She delivered a powerful Spring Summer 2014 collection adorned with literally in-your-face mural art. So what about the coats? Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs and Katie Grand had first dibs.

These reinterpretations of fur coats exude mockery, to a point that it is challenging the traditional interpretation of fur. Stripping down regality and lavishness of fur, in exchange for vibrant whacky teddy bear fur.

自嘲一向都是時尚圈的專業,何須太認真呢?物極必反,當時裝華麗到一個地步,就有新的對衡,而通常以玩味極濃的手法出現。Brian LichtenbergWhat about yves惡搞設計就是時尚對自我諷刺的認同。時尚是詼諧的、俏皮的。而倫敦新生代人造皮草品牌Shirmps就是很貼切的例子。這個新品牌整個調子就是很幽默,賣點不是假的很像真皮草,而是肆無忌憚就是假皮草的態度,如此有趣破格的演繹就是活生生的英式開玩笑幽默感。

高端時裝代表有Prada,少有的設計師每一季都再徹底改造品牌的繆斯女神,而Miuccia Prada是其中之一,她的設計還讓人想徹底換掉自己的衣服。Prada 2014春夏系列藝術氣色濃厚,隨處可見的壁畫元素是一大亮點。而Anna WintourMarc Jacobs和Katie Grand已經爭先演繹皮草大衣了。


俏皮的諷刺造就皮草大衣的重新解讀,駁斥人們對皮草的傳統看法。抹去皮草的雍容華貴,以亮麗輕狂的一面示人。

Go further with Faux Fur Part II


Lets face it, not all of us live in a place with all four seasons, for some there might be two, but what about those living in the desert? Well I'm not sure about the desert but the seasons in Hong Kong are definitely blurred. Whether its mohair or acrylic they will just get hotter than this hot trend. So when the weather is just too unfortunate for sporting faux fur jackets and coats, do try accessories and the occasional faux fur collar might just be as chic.

Go further with Faux Fur Part I

Vrai ou faux? This year say good bye to real animal fur, because it's all about being environmentally friendly. Salut! to the eco-friendly faux fur! 


Faux fur is no fashion faux pas, used extensively in Chanel Fall 2010, a lot of brands and designers are trying to faux fur as vrai as the real thing. This hot trend comes in all sorts such as vests, coats, scarves, hats, shoes, collars, snoods and the list can go on. Point is, with faux fur brought into play as plush and fluffy as the real deal, we can enjoy the same amount of luxe and opulence without the price tag and be ecofriendly at the same time. (Less guilt when you get multiple items too!)


This furrytale is starting to get quite fabulous isn't it.




Vests & Gilets: If full on fur is too much for you, or the weather just leaves you no choice, a vest or a gilet of faux fur can still add a bit of fuzzy fun to your outfit.

Wild Animal: Pull off the animal print motif with faux fur in coats, jackets, or vests. 
From left to right, Disguise in this semi-metallic leopard print Jacquard coat with a removable faux fur collar from Rachel Roy; Feathery splendor Chris Flutter Front Fur Vest and zebra frenzy Alandora Faux Fur Shawl Collar Jacket, both Alice + Olivia.


Teddy bear: This teddy bear fur trend is not only good to look at but soft to touch too. Mix in a dab brownish nostalgia with this Faux Fur Crombie Coat  or just delightful furriness with this Petite Faux Fur Hooded Gilet, also from Topshop and Unique.


Knitwear: Faux fur mixed in with knits are an alternative to all those coats and jackets. I have been seeing a lot of faux fur knits from Zara, similar to this Ricci Knitted Coat (very Louis Vuitton Fall 2010) and this Knitted Faux Fur Coatigan (what an inventive name!) from Topshop, with mesmerizing cable knit details at the back.


Oversized collar: From time to time less is more, pair this Faux Fur Collar Pea Coat from Topshop with brogues and pleated skirts for a scholastic edge.
