The vintage Italian Fashion House that's been around since 1925... better known as 'Fendi,' has been asked to remove all of the fur pieces from their Fall/Winter collection fashion show that's set to take place this June 2nd. South Korea's capital city, Seoul banned fur due to the numerous complaints from several animal rights groups. City officials even threatened to cancel the scheduled event if all animal related items aren't removed from Fendi's catwalk itinerary.
Fendi states, Milan had no issue with the 'fur for all' show they put on during the Italian Fashion Week and said Seoul's short notice comes as a surprise being there were no issues brought up during the months of preparation. The company is continuing to negotiate on the subject but it's looking like a 'no go'!
Fendi is definitely not an 'animal friendly' design house as back in 1997 Naomi Campbell was fired as spokeswoman for P.E.T.A. (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) when she dared to wear fur at a Fendi fashion show in spite of making the bold statement... "I'd rather go naked then wear fur".
Fur is a personal choice and when it gets down to it, you either wear it or you don't! There are so many 'faux fur' and 'faux animal' prints out there that if you choose to not wear it for ethical reasons, you can still wear it anyway...and guilt free at that!

The Spotlight's on Jennifer Aniston today as she was seen this weekend at a New York Sephora promoting her new fragrance line. Shades of orange are in for Summer 2011, so following suit to fashion trends, she was wearing a Vivienne Westwood bright tangerine strapless peep hole bodice straight line frock that wow'ed the crowd! The dress gets four stars however, I don't know that I agree with her decision to pair this number with silver strappies?...
My personal preference would have been the nude hued stilettos that have been showing up everywhere... Love these Fendi 'Natalia' mary jane slingback pumps!

Get your true grit on this Spring because vintage inspired, Western Navajo accessories such as sandals and wide brimmed fedoras are taking the reins! Embroidered leather totes, basket weave sandals and turquoise jewelry... It's all about the bohemian rustic vibe as we roll into the dog days of Summer...
Ralph Lauren's Spring 2011 collection showcased the wild west with a modern American prairies feel to his pieces that included giant belt buckles, suede choker necklaces and Navajo rug tote bags.
Fendi, Chloe & Emilio Pucci are in on the action this Spring strumming up some colorful Native American style shoes and hand bag...
I am truly fond of the vintage old West style, however I don't think of this fashion trend in terms of Summer wear because it doesn't have that light and airy appeal to me, but I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of this trend for Fall 2011.
