The first time we remember seeing fur gauntlets crop up this season was in the striking Balenciaga Pre-Fall collection and, come to think of it, the Prada one too. Needless to say, we think this trend is about to become as eponymous as lace was last fall or as thigh-high boots will be this season as well. In New York, Donna Karan, who vowed not to use fur this season, rendered hers in shearling. In London, Giles Deacon styled his with bare shoulders, and in Milan, Salvatore Ferragamo showed off a trademark penchant for luxurious monochrome.
Just because all the designer's are doing it doesn't mean it will be everywhere like the lace trend. Most people I have heard from in my online fashion communities agree that this is a baffling
attempt to force a trend - most find these "fur gauntlets" -or "bear arms" as they seem to be more commonly referred to-to be hideous and idiotic.
