• 244. Instagram Face Is Ruining Us: Diane & Nyna Tell the Truth

  🎙️ Closet Confidential: The Luxury Of Fur (Real, Faux & Fun Fur) Host: Diane GilmanThis Fashion Thursday, Diane Gilman—formerly the Queen of Jeans and now the self-proclaimed Countess of Closet Confidential—dives into the emotional, ethical, and aesthetic world of fur. From childhood memories in Beverly Hills fur salons to modern faux pieces that rival the real thing, Diane walks through the coats, ponchos, hoodies, and hats that define her “luxury girl” style. She shares why some real furs feel justifiable, why today’s faux fur is both magical and problematic, and how statement pieces can flatter an older face, body, and spirit.What you’ll hear:Diane’s take on real vs faux: pollution, ethics, multi-purpose hides, and personal guilt vs pleasureThe Veronica Beard calfskin “retro leopard” that makes her feel like a 70s queenHow childhood Saturdays at a Beverly Hills furrier shaped her lifelong love of minkWhy Adrienne Landau’s faux ponchos and faux fox hoodies are her go-to “hero pieces”Sportmax drama: the big-lapel neutral faux coat that makes strangers stop her on Madison AvenueThe sentimental Mongolian lamb and ranch-mink-look pieces that carry memories, not just warmthWhy high-quality faux fur is a dream for older women: no moths, forgiving silhouettes, and instant glamourDiane’s new obsession with “fun fur” and the $30–$50 snow-leopard coat that proves faux can be playfulThe ultimate statement: a faux black fox “Zarina hat” that keeps her dry, warm, and feeling like Russian royaltyStyle takeaways:Treat fur (real or faux) as a statement: one strong piece can carry an entire outfit.For faux, go either hyper-realistic or unapologetically dramatic.Big lapels, oversized cuts, and rich textures are incredibly kind to an older face and body.Quality faux fur is long-lasting, moth-resistant, and perfect for city winters.Your closet can hold history—some pieces are worth keeping for the memories alone.
