Fall/ Winter 2014-2015 Fashion Trend #1: Leather and Fur Chic

It is not new that our wardrobe is built around key style pieces that can always offer us the chance to look fashionable and confident.

The famous designers in the thought and mood of colder days tend to turn to the timeless fabrics that are not only chic but also provide us with warm and a pleasant feeling when wearing them. Fur and leather are some of these prominent materials used in their collections from the runway. Leather and fur comes both in the traditional colors this fall, as well as in vibrant colors.

For inspiration, check out runway options presented by Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Libertine, J. Mendel, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Akris and others.
