                                    Fur + Tweed. Hot or not ? 


It all started from...SHOPPING. I had a day off and I decided to visit some special shops. Why special? Because I wanted to see hand-made works. I started from some Japanese stylish shop. I fell in love with some sweaters there. But then I walked in another shop which was quite good. So then I fell in love. When I see something and want to put it on in few seconds, I'm in love. I saw that jacket. It is absolutely hand-made but it is really gorgeous ! Half of this jacket is tweed and another half is made of fur of a yak,but actually,it only looks like that, fur is fake. I fell in love how does it look on me. So high. I decided to buy it as soon as I can. This tweed-fur jacket would look perfect in a spring day, but it would look fabulous on a fashion week with sun glasses and ponytail ! I could not leave this shop because this fur and tweed jacket is my love.
But is it okay to connect classic of 30's and sharpness of 80's?
Actually, tweed came in fashion because of Coco Chanel but does it look good without a tweed skirt in combination with fur?
One day, tweed has been making only for a sportswear. Then Coco decided that tweed is higher then sportswear and more independent. In this century Karl makes a lot of experiments with tweed, he creates beautiful combinations - he follows the old style,but creates some new elements.
Last time fur came back in fashion at the late 90's when Anna Wintour decided to use fur for Vogue magazine. Before fur was used in different eras but this kind of fur,which is on me was trendy at the middle 80's when punk culture was on top.
Nowadays, designers create such a different combinations. Fur and tweed is not risky. I'd better say that fur and leather is riskier because this trends always compete with each other. I wanted to mention that Fendi and Prada created perfect combinations of fur and leather in their FALL 13/14 collections. I was wondered, how designers could make it perfectly well. 
In concluson, I wanted to tell you,that usually fur combines with most of materials and structures.
Fur and tweed look really beautiful together. They exist in one outfit and create unforgettable silhouette and look.
