THE FURWORKS CANADA
FALL/WINTER 2002
The FurWorks
Canada collections for Winter 2002 have a sporty and urban feel and
are designed for broader market appeal. Fur is becoming a popular item
again. With this season's more integrated, mainstream fashion look and
price range, FurWorks has an opportunity to attract new consumers. It
is also an opportunity to change the perception of fur.
"Glamour and luxury are defined in different
ways by each new generation.
While full-on glamour furs are now very much in style, fur had to also
take
a more casual route to appeal to the consumer that has a more relaxed
way
of dressing," said Richard H. a renowned Paris-based fashion
consultant and
trend forecaster who provided creative direction for FurWorks Canada.
The collections
offer great urban choices from the hip-vests of Krio by Natural
Furs International and Jean Crisan to Dominic Bellissimo's
raw
edge shearlings jackets, vests, coats and shirts. A definite sportswear
look presented by Frëtt for
Antonio Proietti combines wool and fur for
warmth and comfortable feel. We see light and sophisticated fur trims
by Zuki for Luxe, Musi jackets sparkling with colour and
texture, Paula Lishman's
bold colours knitwear and Furko by Theo's everyday wear. Hilary
Radley puts forth another classy collection of oversized shearlings
coats.
There is
something for everyone in FurWorks Canada and this is just a
preview of what you will be able to see during this year's edition of
Naffem at the end
of April 2002.
