Rachel Fortin is the creator of earth-friendly accessories line Rachel.F. (514-544-6518, rachelf.ca). This Montrealer (who cut her design teeth at Mackage) is fast becoming the eco–It girl for one-of-a-kind purses, statement hats and eclectic jewellery—all crafted from recycled furs.
How would you describe your line?
“Timeless. Comfortable. Ethical.”

On the international fashion scene, fur is having a major moment. From New York to Paris, it seemed as though the runways were rife with the fuzzy stuff. Serendipitous then, for Izzy Camilleri and Adrian Mainella of IZMA for whom fur is forte. And these are definitely not grandma’s fur coats. For fall, entirely modern bits like thick bands of gold studs, copper foil linings and micro mini hems, were mashed up with seriously ‘70s undertones such as evergreen furs, jumpsuits the colour of roasted squash and sheer burgundy velvet burnout.
There were highs—the colour blocked fur coats—and lows—an unflattering tuxedo onesie with voluminous pant, and unfortunate metallic sequined leggings. Should you happen to be invited to a black tie gala in an ice palace, the finale look would have you covered in a floor length fur gown complete with train and jeweled straps. Let the fur fly!

We absolutely love this streeter’s eclectic style. Though she is wearing so many different trends–fur, denim, military, tan–she still manages to nail boho chic.

IZMA Fall 2010. Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani
Those who trudged out in the rain to catch the opening show at Toronto Fashion Week with an impeccably-done presentation from IZMA, Izzy Camilleri and Adrian Mainella‘s new line of fur pieces. Camilleri, a leather and fur specialist, and Mainella, a fashion journalist best known for his hosting duties on the now-defunct Fashion File, are positioning their line as green and sustainable, in both their use of wild furs and the material’s inherent heirloom qualities. (If you’re anti-fur, none of this matters, of course.)
The IZMA team clearly wants to break away from your grandma’s fur coat, offering up unexpected pieces such as a beaver tunic with a deep V-neck, hoods in bleached coyote and red fox, a skirt in inky black coyote that doubles as a cape and a fox fur purse with a multi-chain strap flips up onto the shoulder to become a bandeau. Coolest was a vest strung with chains and strips of sheared beaver. There were plenty of coats and capes too, like a swing coat done in muskrat, a slouchy sheared beaver wrap and a cropped hooded bomber in silver fox. The leather–a creamy double-breasted suit, or black trousers, for starters–was Emma Peel tight, though Camilleri promises that the pieces will be real-world wearable when they hit stores. The final three looks showed examples of the custom work IZMA will be offering, and show Camilleri’s skills as a red-carpet designer. A full skirt flounced as if it were made of ostrich feathers and a short see-through dress was covered with tufts of fur and a luxe black capelet. It was a strong debut for Mainella and Camilleri’s collaboration and an equally strong start to LG Fashion Week.

FENDI Fall 2010. Photography by Peter Stigter
There were gorgeous colour-blocked furs at Fendi–in the opening black, white and grey coat or a long multi-hued brown vest. Another look to loveo: the belted loden coat over a long ochre full skirt. The Fendi boot was a wicked take on galoshes, in suede or ostrich. With a high heel of course!
