Indeed, while many parts of the shearling is handled with finesse and intelligence, while others are decked out patches of fur - as a pockets and epaulettes - vaguely reminiscent of Marni, the universe, the charm and less. ..

Not to mention the fox leopard print jacket starved of subtlety, the trench allowing awkwardly association canvas / coat or boots for wide cuffs shearling ...

These few false notes did not however prevent us from enjoying the rest of the collection, including mantle male slightly oversize tote white fur, long gloves and shearling parka olive.
