Autumn 2009's runways showed miniskirts, jackets, and mostly vests – covered with extra volume long faux fur, that didn't even pretend to be real. Thus made faux fur, a phrase once synonymous with cheap, seem expensive and sophisticated.
Faux fur was first seen on high-end fashion shows that presented dramatic colorful faux fur looks that looked as if they were inspired by "The Muppet Show". D&G, for example, chose neon-pink color while Gareth Pugh created dark-black outfits.

Eva Longoria &
Victoria Beckham were seen looking glam wearing faux fur coats with a dress underneath and high boots, while Sienna Miller &
Rachel Zoe, wore faux fur vests with a belt over & skinny jeans, kept their boho-chic style.
The most exciting use of faux-fur could be seen on
Opening Ceremony's "Where the Wild Things Are" collection, that looked prehistoric and yet trendy and chic, with a pinch of fantasy.
