The sketch of a polar bear by Karl Lagerfeld on the invitation to his autumn-winter show for Chanel on Tuesday was already a big hint.

As a howling wind came over the sound system, screens were hoisted up to reveal gigantic ice floes, from which his models emerged enveloped in shaggy furs to keep out the Arctic cold and splashed through puddles of melted ice in knee high yeti boots.

With bouffant platinum blonde hair swept up, they snuggled into floor-sweeping snow white coats quilted like the Chanel signature handbag, with deep black fur hems, cuffs and stole collars.

Fendi have just released a bicycle named the Fendi Abici Amante Donna which comes in two versions.

One version comes decked out with Fendi’s Selleria leather accessories (a key and bike chain cover, leather gps navigation holder and a detachable Fendi case) which costs $5,900.

A more expensive version which comes complete with everything plus removable fur saddlebags for $9,500.

Designer Tom Ford, the man credited with saving Gucci has chosen this time of tight purse strings to launch one of the most extravagant items to date : a limited edition collection of fur boots for men, with the top-priced pair commanding $9,240.

The collection consists of three pairs of boots and a compatible fur trapper hat.

There are silver and tan natural fur boots for $5,250; chocolate brown kid fur boots for $4,470 both with rawhide leather laces; and a somewhat dressier pair of natural brown otter fur boots which cost the $9,240.

As the name suggests, the fur will render ultimate warmth and of course total relaxation. The back side is of black cotton. You can order from two sizes but for an escalated price of $7,500. Source : opulentitems
