It’s one of the main fashion trends for Winter 2008-2009.

Despite all those hot discussions and protests against fur, designers include it in almost every winter collection. Personally I feel really merciful to those animals that are killed so that our fashion tastes were satisfied, but I cannot resist admitting that fur looks magnificent on every item, from fur coats to those tiny accessories we are fond of so much.

Today we’ll talk about fur detailing and accessories rather than fur coats. You may ask me why I pay so much attention to the décor and I will say that it’s not me but couturiers who prefer fur trimming and accessories to whole fur pieces.

To start with, I must say that a lot of various textures are used in winter lines for this winter, for instance: mink, fox fur, pony fur, sheepskin and many others.

Patterns: stripes

Stripes have been widely introduced in designer collections this season. They can be vertical or horizontal, to add some contrast various tints and textures are used. The design is certainly very interesting, besides, it has an optical effect. Do you remember that vertical lines as well as thin horizontal make you look leaner?

Colors: bright

Some designers are prejudiced against dyed furs telling good fur looks wonderful by itself and there is no need to change its color.

Yes, natural fur is perfect, but we do understand that to create the most unexpected and interesting design colors are vital. Rich color palette is necessary to make fur look modern, bold and unconventional.

Wild prints: outstanding

Wild prints are extremely fashionable this season and they help you be noticeable.

You may need just a little accessory to create a wild look.

Fur details: chic

Collars, sleeves, cuffs, pelerines and many other details look chic on every clothing piece. The greatest effect is achieved when the tone is single but the texture is different, or contrasted colors are applied.

Clothing items: skirt

Some people think that fur skirt is perfect just for catwalks and is ridiculous in everyday life. However, it is not true at all as a fur skirt is a highly practical and fashionable item. It is indispensable in winter and autumn for walking in the open air. And the extravagance of the idea and texture will attract plenty of attention to you. It’s worth mentioning though that it’s quite inappropriate for sitting.

Scarf: luxurious accessory

Scarf is a winter accessory that takes various textures and shapes every season. Fur scarves are perfect, warm and very uncommon. They can be super short or extremely long, very thin or exceptionally voluminous.

Bag: splendor by itself

Bag is an accessory that speaks volumes about its owner. I think every girl dreams about a really fabulous fur bag that complements any attire and makes you look gorgeous!

After seeing all those terrific garments I think you will agree that fur is more than great! But it’s up to you to decide whether you will really purchase something of that and please yourself with a chic reflection in your mirror or refuse it under the influence of green peace photos and arguments, this way you’ll be left with just a contemplation of models rocking the fur on the runways!

There were a lot of beautiful celebrities in great dresses.

Jewelled metallic accents, sweeping gowns and soft, feminine waves took the Emmy fashion factor to the limit.

Star Marcia Cross was nothing desperate about Desperate Houswives. She looked like a little girl’s  hope to be a beautiful ballet dancer in her dress by Ellie Saab.

Top of the short hoopskirt dress with off-the-shoulder was made of tulle re-embroidered with lamé guipure. The dress was accessorized with Beige taffeta belt. This outfit is part of the Fall/Winter 08/09 collection shown at Paris Fashion Week.

The dress looks great with Marcia’s hair and skin tone. It makes her look years younger but very urban at the same time!

Marcia Cross’s co-star Nicollette Sheridan chose for a purple strapless floor-length gown. She picks another hot fall 2008 color – purple. This color works it well on 60th annual Emmys red carpet. The long dress, which closed Angel Sanchez fall 2008 catwalk show earlier this year, looks perfect relative to the red carpet and distinctly makes Nicolette to stand out.

Christina Applegate from Samantha Who? (she’s also nominated for lead actress of a comedy series) is lookin’ hot in her icy Reem Acra wrap dress with beautiful golden print.

She is recovering from breast cancer surgery, but she looked like Grace Kelly in that vintage evening gown. Christina couldn’t find a better choice to make her statement. It’s great to see her healthy and smiling, and this gown’s complimenting her personality in such a classy and bold way.

I think Applegate was one of the best dressed of the night,” said stylist Marie Alice Stephenson. “She was glamorous, elegant and she pushed it.”

Christina Hendricks, the Mad Men actress, has her sexy red carpet look down in this flowy green Goddess dress that highlights her sensory curves.

She did her 1960s-era Mad Men character justice in a curve-hugging emerald green gown, which complemented her red hair that she wore in a up-style twist.

The petite vixen Eva Longoria from Desperate Housewives went too short for leisure in a metallic micro gown that felt like a costume piece from Dancing with the Stars. Her fringed ombre Marchesa frock from Spring 2009 collection isn’t a typical red carpet gown. The dress adorned with an oversized bow at the bodice. But guess what – it did stand out and fitted Eva’s compact physique. Eva’s pointy silver pumps, metallic clutch, and teardrop earrings all match and redouble the view.

Supermodel Heidi Klum looks totally fab and so luminous in this great beaded dress.

Heidi had a chance to take the most risks, as she was hoped to adopt many looks throughout the night. She planned no fewer than six as she extended her red carpet walk in a custom Giorgio Armani Prive gunmetal metallic dress with a one-shoulder.

“It was a mature choice for what Heidi normally wears,” said Klum’s stylist Maryam Malakpour, but Armani won her over by sending a personal note to congratulate her on her “Project Runway” nomination.

Congratulations to Heidi Klum for topping my Most Beautiful Dressed list tonight!
