J Mendel Fashion Show Fall 2008
You don’t go to J Mendel if you don’t like fur. For Fall 2008, designer Gilles Mendel strayed into over-the-top territory with fur stoles, fur overcoats, fur-trimmed sleeves…whew! If there is an animal with its pelt left in NYC, I’d be shocked.
Let me just state for the record that I don’t have a problem with fur. I love it, it’s just that so many pieces that included fur can be a little overwhelming. My favorite pieces from the J Mendel Fall collection were those that were more understated. His jet black gown with a criss-crossed neckline and satin peplum at the waist was incredibly elegant, as was a tiered gown in an eggplant color.
