Who said luxury was dead? On the Fall 2010 runway furs took center stage on designer runways from Marc Jacobs to Thakoon. The best of the bunch were lightweight or knitted fur that had an airy feel to them. Fur-trimmed hoods were also a big look. Although most of this fur was real on the runway, you'll be seeing plenty of faux fur alternatives come fall which will be much kinder to animals (and your pocketbook.)
This is not your momma's fur. Custo Barcelona's slightly wild take on the fur jacket includes strips of red dyed fur and an oversized cowl neck for fall.
Malandrino's fur pieces took on a warrior-like feel, like with this long-hair fur trim jacket in black. I think it may be some type of goat hair (Kiddasia?), but paired with leather it looks extra fierce.
I love the natural appeal of a shearling, and Malandrino's loosely wrapped, printed shearling captures the call of the wild.
Thakoon took a silver fox fur on the sporty side with a hood and three-quarter-length sleeves.
Head-to-toe fur too much for you? Try just a fur hood like Thakoon's model does for a touch of chic.
In one of the most original fur looks of the season, Thakoon makes a rough-edged look of asymmetrically cut fur with mink and fox mixed together.
Plain, old naturally colored fur not your thing? Try one of Zac Posen's lively furs, like this blue-striped version.
In a nod to lightening up traditional mink looks, Carolina Herrera mixed a print jacket with a fur collar and sleeves.
Keep your neck warm and your chic quotient high with this Carolina Herrera fur collar.
Barbara Tfank takes the traditional route with fur stole, still a classy look for evening.
I love this Marc Jacobs coat because it's young and fresh, but still very luxe with its smattering of sequins and Mongolian lamb trim.
