gloves trend-Gianfranco Ferre-Spring 2008-12/12/07-1

Suzy Menkes of IHT reports on the trend of gloves as the accessory designers are feeling at the moment.

“After years of neglecting cold weather accessories and spurning gloves as a winter necessity, fur at your finger tips is back in fashion.

“And not just for women.

“Burberry offered mighty male mittens as worn by Arctic explorers in the distant era when the company served the military and the requirements of extreme sports.

“Others have taken the fur glove and elongated it as an elegant, elbow-length accessory. Chinchilla or mink gauntlets rise high; while silver fox trims circle the wrist of leather gloves.”
