Jeremy Laing debuts fur and knits for his Fall 2010 collection. I’m in love. The huge waffle knit looks so cosy and warm. I love the fur hoods and snoods. I can see these being a hot item for fall, especially with the unusual treatment and colours. Beaver, raccoon, and muskrat pelts come from sustainably hunted animals in Canada.
Jeremy was inspired by: “Elements of the Canadian northwest coast: from the curvilinear style of Native American graphics appearing on totems, boxes and midcentury art prints to the rich colors and textures of the redwood forest.â€
This collection was an exploration of texture and surface. Most elements of this collection I loved but I did feel that it was a little all over the place. I’m on the fence with what I call the sky print (it looks like a night sky full of stars). I want to see it in person or on video because I think the camera isn’t doing it justice.
