Forget your pashminas and shahtooshs, this season Fur is back in a big way. Real or faux fur, recently celebs, including the Olsen Twins, Kate Moss, and Sarah Jessica Parker, were all spotted wearing fur on their night outs.
I think it's more appropriate here in Kuwait to wear fur for formal events and special occasions only (and NO! going to Salhiya Complex or Lorenzo does not count as a special occasion!). I know the weather these days is not helping much to sport this trend, but think of it this way, fur is something that would never ever go out of style, so buying a fur coat is a true investment piece. Besides, if you can't wear your fur for outdoor events, you can always wear it in freezing hotel party halls.
Anyhow, I found a really nice selection of mink and rabbit furs at a store located in Marina Mall called Zerbaft (next to Miss Sixty). Here is a sample of what's in store:

The fur selection of throws, collars, and coats is by a French brand called Yves Salomon who is very famous in the fur fashion. Apparently, the brand has been in this industry since 1850 and has recently collaborated with Oscar De La Renta on some designs for it's fall collection.
The fur coats price range between KD 500 and KD 740. Go have a look if you're interested. According to the sales lady, they are selling them like hotcakes.

i think the only ppl who should wear fur are the ones living in freezing cold climates, who actually need the warmth of it and will catch and kill the animals in a humane way. not like the greedy vultures who run fur farms driven by nothing than $$$. im not judging anyone who wears fur [even those who wear it in kuwait's warm winters!] just sharing my personal opinion
I agree that the origin of fur was the purpose of being warm..however that debate is very old and it has now become a statement of wealth. but depending on where you live you will see more (italy) or less (kuwait) of fur worn.
However, I would gladly wear fur in Kuwait. After all, dont we all get chauffeured around from one cold mall to a restaurant to a private party???
There is no much walking outside whether in a teeshirt or fur so you might as well indulge and look fabulous...
If you ask me i rather see more fur on Kuwaitis to cover up some of their fashion faux pas ;)
Oh but pls lets at least keep the colour of the fur understated like the ones posted!!
I'm in London now..
The weather is FREEZINg,
but the shopping is GREAT :-)
Got to finish before boxing day though, hate elz7ma!
I'd gladly sacrifice discounted prices for the sake of shopping at peace!
But i'm kind of anti-fur at the moment. I've seen what they do to those poor animals. :((
Faux fur is great! But I still will wear my mom's old furs. I just wont buy new ones (or I'll try).
and fourme, if you care for your safety do NOT wear fur in London! thats PETA-freak CENTRAL
