FAD, short for Fur, Art, Design, is a new department of the Greek Fur Center. It has just premiered its fall 2000 collection with up-to-the-minute fur styles to inspire and direct Greek manufacturers.

Haralambos Krikis, who designed the collection together with his brother, Thanasis Krikis, told furs.com his goal was to create light-weight furs that are young and exciting to wear. Edie Sedgwick, 1960s muse of Andy Warhol, was their inspiration.

"The pieces are slim, sexy and can be easily mixed in a wardrobe of a modern, fashionable woman," said Krikis. "Most of them are plucked or sheared; some are lined, and some are reversible. In the reversibles, the leather side of the fur has undergone a napa treatment."

Color and fur-as-clothing are both big fall fur trends, and these FAD designs embody both. Sixty styles include reversible dresses, skirts and tops in sheared mink plus reversible parkas, jean-type jackets, skirts and blouses of plucked mink in pistachio green, orange and electric blue. There are also sleeveless blouses and a tunic in dyed fox.

Traditionally lined furs include slim coats and jackets in plucked, dyed mink and fox colored Prussian blue, canary yellow and red with a touch of vermilion. Two lined blouses and a fox short evening jacket, collarless, are dyed deep aubergine.

The FAD is currently working on yet another collection for a show later this year in Athens.
