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.

Giles Deacon showed a Fall 2009 collection yesterday that served as a personal retrospective for the designer. Deacon called up his favorite designs, some of which dated back to his college years, in an effort to reclaim some "fun" this season. Two perfect castings to this theme: vintage supermodels and thigh high suede Louboutins.

Gemma Ward's new film, The Black Balloon, will open stateside this Friday, following its March release in Australia which came with a slew of positive reviews...

Cyber Monday has come and gone but consumer spending online should continue, despite all odds, to grow. WWD reports on the build up of Cyber Monday and the Thanksgiving numbers that brought us there.

Marni has announced its Fall 09 menswear show will take place by way of a presentation rather than the usual runway spectacular. The company has articulated their ongoing focus on menswear, despite deciding on this rather subdued format for next season.

A collaborative project called A Little Piece of Mind has the likes of Giles Deacon, PPQ, and Luella Bartley designing squares of quilts that will be auctioned off, in New York and London, for charity. Debuting this March, proceeds from the auction will go to Shelter in the UK and the Bowery Mission in New York.
