THE FUSE

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has placed a ban on animal fur starting in September 2026. Many of the February 2026 shows in New York were already fur-free, but if you couldn’t tell, I wouldn’t blame you: Shearling and faux pieces have become ubiquitous. The desire for shaggy, big-boss coats has been in steady demand for a few years now, and the trend-setting girls we love are dead-set on finding a new way to make it their own. The star outerwear piece in the lead right now? Gucci’s ‘80s animal-print shearling coat.
