Once worn by the likes of Jerry Hall and Bianca Jagger, furry jackets offer a ‘one and done’ look based on a single piece
The New York nightclub Studio 54 closed its doors almost 40 years ago, but it continues to influence how we dress.
This time around it is not Cher’s sheer bodysuit but the fuzzy coats and the furry stoles worn by the likes of Jerry Hall and Bianca Jagger as well as the hopefuls who queued outside for hours pleading for permission to cross the club’s velvet ropes.
As the festive party season looms, the Studio 54 coat is back.
One of the most popular items from Marks & Spencer’s recent collaboration with the London label 16Arlington is a cropped, cream, long-haired jacket with giant lapels. At John Lewis, searches for brown faux fur coats are up 190% year on year. Secondhand fuzzy finds are also in demand, with searches for faux fur rising 257% over the past six months on the secondhand platform Depop.
