So, after years of obscurantism, this winter will be the main protagonist fur, “cleared” now from designers and fashionistas and comeback to the limelight in any collection. Of course, changing styles and a symbol of opulence and prosperity has become an accessory for use with fancy lapels in the form of a cape, the inserts in his boots to the mythical busby.

In fact the fur, after all, is never really gone out of fashion.
