The fur pom pom trend has been around for a while now and as fur is the topic for my summative brief project, I thought I'd put to use the Pinterest board I put together based on this trend a while ago. Fur pom poms are currently everywhere, on our shoes, bags, keyrings, hats, caps and clothes. Lets face it if you don't have a fur pom pom keyring on your keys you're in the minority.
I have currently been focusing on Fendi as part of my summative brief project and I'm sure you'll all agree this Italian brand has to be the king of the fur pom pom keyring. I feel that the Fedi keyrings, priced at around £395-£3000 really instigated the popularity of the fur pom pom keyring. We have seen a handful of celebrities pictured with these the pricey accessories attached to their bags and keys, including Cara Delevigne, Poppy Delevigne, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Olivia Palermo. But if you're not willing to part with at the very least £395 to jazz up your car keys you're not to worry as it seems every possible high street brand is offering us a cheaper alternative, from Topshop to Dune and River Island to Kurt Geiger.
According to the Guardian, 'The undisputed fashion smash of Christmas 2015', the pom pom was a very popular Christmas gift this year, if you didn't receive any pom pom embellished presents for Christmas then yet again, you were in the minority. According to Topshop, the brand that had almost a whole walls worth of pom poms in the form of hats, scarfs and bags within their flagship store on Oxford Street, said sales of pom pom bobble hats were up 100% on last year.
The fur pom pom made an appearance in a number of Autumn/Winter 2015/16 collections, below are three of my favourite pom pom looks to grace the catwalk. Gucci has been amongst those to jump on the fur pom pom bandwagon and Alessandro Michele definitely did the lovable pom pom justice with those gorgeous black pumps (below right). 'It's the Gucci effect again. Michele finished his lace-up pumps with pom poms and suddenly they become fashions most wanted. They have always been fun and frivolous, but now they are cool too.' said Kay Barron, Porter magazines fashion feature director.

If there was ever a trend to reveal fashions fun side it has to be the pom pom. I love this trend and anyone else who doesn't like to take them self too seriously will agree, it's just so fun! Although I think the fur aspect will be lost due to the season, I have a hopeful feeling that we will see a lot of the pom pom into Spring/Summer 2016 (eek pom pom sandals!).
