Yves Salomon METEO and ARMY

Yves Salomon has presented its more edgy/young/irreverent/affordable AW15 collection for its line METEO. I think it is adorable and the prices are so good that everybody can have a piece of it. And for all those lucky enough to live in London or be passing by London in the next months they can go and have a look at the range in Harrods, where they have opened a department in their Fashion Lab. 

The collection features Mongol lamb, shearling, raccoon, merinos wool, rabbit, fox and some mink. The looks are very actual with mix of fabrics and furry designs to give a chic and sophisticated look to the winter clothes without the classicism generally associated to fur. 

And if this is not enough, the department is also showcasing the celebrated ARMY range with military inspired parkas full of fur linings and trims. The leopard print on the rabbit is perfect for a great everyday look during winter. 

Fur is definitely back and thanks to Yves Salomon it could be in your wardrobe!

Chinchilla

Chinchilla is another member of Fur Royalty. 

The first thing you will notice and will get you hooked with this fur is its softness. Chinchilla is by far the softer fur and the feeling when you touch a good piece of chinchilla is close to unreal. It really can take you beyond your feelings capacity, if that makes sense. 

Chinchilla fur is extremely elegant and sophisticated and not everybody can wear it in its original colour as its grey shades can easily wash your face off! But if you love its softness and cannot live without it you always have the dyed option, a bit cheaper but can really bring some colour to your evening look. 

Chinchilla is a very delicate material, not good for everyday use. I recommend you to leave your chinchilla for a special ocasion and keep it stored properly, never squashed in your wardrobe! Due to its softness and quality, Chinchilla is an expensive material, but it will totally be worth it if you go for it!

The chinchilla in the picture is a great example of how a classic chinchilla piece looks like. Normally they are great accessories or short designs as the chinchilla is not a big animal and they are so delicate. The one above is from Oscar de la Renta and I found it in the Harrods website.
