Fur that had been worn so becomingly at the turn-of-the century continued and proliferated after WWI and throughout the 50’s. Fur hats endured an inconstant popularity, but made a strong return between 1957 and 1958 coming in all kinds of shapes: berets, caps, turbans and cloches. Fur trimmings, borders, and details became characteristic of the decade for outlining a hem or creating pockets, flowers or bows. Nearly always fur was used for tailor-made collars or necklines of close-fitting evening dresses.
For the wedding of the Shah of Persia in 1951, Soroya wore a princess gown with marabou feathers while bridesmaids held the train of her ermine cloak. At the marriage of Maria Pia of Savoy, the ex-queen wore a long, lace gown trimmed in mink. Audrey Hepburn posed in the Piazza di Spagna in a long cloak edged in mink when filming Roman Holiday in 1953. In the final scene of her 1954 movie A Star is Born, Judy Garland wore a Stole with sable cuffs. Sophia Loren was seen in a Revillon Freres Stole that almost enveloped her with rows of fur in 1959. By mid-century, the magazine Novita spoke of the growing vogue of fur trimmings of all kinds.
