The Altuzarra Fall 2013 collection showcases a series of couture rawhide pieces. The seductive items were showcased along the catwalks of this year's New York Fashion Week, delivering an eye full to audience members who have come to expect much of the label.
The 2013 New York Fashion Week Altuzarra models displayed the coming season's preference for leather and fur. The luxe pieces were for the most part embellished with slick animal patterns and tight rugged material, all of which were taken from animals.
Altuzurra's pairing of fur upon leather in this Fall 2013 line is quite novel. While most designers have chosen to work with one medium or the other, the brand has opted for both, an indication of its preference for luxury.
