Much to the dismay of animal welfare groups, fur is a major fashion trend in 2008. But after two rather unfortunate examples of fur-wearing by Mary-Kate Olsen and Lindsay Lohan we weren’t entirely sure how far it would go. Then along comes Diane Kruger to show fashionisers everywhere exactly how the trend should be done.

Arriving at Chanel’s Spring 2008 couture show, Kruger wore a cropped fur jacket over her little black dress from Chanel. Another perfectly on trend piece, with its midriff evoking the sheer fashion trend.

I think the two trends are a fantastic pairing for her. The fur and little black dress bring in a timeless elegance, and her soft up-do means the overall look is neater while the Chanel headband and bag compliment perfectly. But the inclusion of the sheer trend adds an entirely new dimension to the elegance, highlighting both her youth and sex appeal.

Does Kruger’s look take your fancy? You can cast your vote on the outfit here.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
