No doubt about it, colored fur is here to stay. It started with the funky-colored fur scarves and stoles at Prada’s Spring collection, which, by the way, are every major editor’s key accessory this week. Faux or real (Prada’s smartly selling both versions), we’ve seen at least one at almost every show from New York to Milan. If all that fur isn’t enough for you, there’s more: The shoe of the season so far seems to be, of all things, a fur-trimmed sandal. They came in black or delicate pink at Alexander Wang, glamorous icy gray at René Caovilla, and now this blue-hued animal-printed take at Sergio Rossi here in Milan, called the Can Can. It’s a great way to tiptoe into the trend if you’re not quite ready for the full purple fuzzy coat.
Welcome Home?
“This is my new office,” Carine Roitfeld jokes when I meet her in the lobby of the Carlyle on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It is less than a week since she officially vacated her throne as editor in chief of Paris Vogue, and in this darkly lit grand hotel, it’s tempting to see Roitfeld, with her gray fur jacket and Russian roots, as a glamorous aristocrat in sudden exile. It’s an exile that will be short-lived, no doubt. She has already exerted an unmistakable influence on fashion, not once but twice: first with the porno-chic aesthetic she co-authored in the nineties as a stylist for Mario Testino and Tom Ford, then of Gucci; later, with her provocative, photo-driven, decade-long tenure at Vogue. Now everyone is speculating about her next act.
The moment we slide into a booth and Roitfeld removes a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses the size of saucers, a different woman emerges: talkative, immensely charming, unafraid to appear vulnerable, yet also fiercely determined. I barely have a chance to turn on my tape recorder before she is off and running on a variety of subjects: her mysterious departure from Vogue, the need to promote young talent, and dinners à trois with Riccardo Tisci and Karl Lagerfeld.
