From editor Giovanna Battaglia to model Xiao Wen Ju, everyone this winter was sporting oversized fur coats (both faux and the real deal). With a month left of chilly weather, now’s the time to check out the selection of similar coats on eBay, like this long-haired faux coat or this slim faux fur vest.

Naomi Sims is often credited as being the first African American supermodel. No matter what her title — the girl has style. There are plenty of old school street style shots of her sashaying down the streets of New York City, sporting a host of relaxed, boyish outfits. Her look has withstood the test of time, proving that class is always classic. We’ve taken her look and added a few twists, vamping it up a bit for more modern times.

Kate Moss could sell me an inflatable raft with a hole in it. Whatever that girl touches turns to gold, in my opinion. It is for this reason that Kate is one of the top-earners in the fashion world. Just last year, she hit number 2 on Forbes list of models raking in the cash. Her career — unlike most — is well into the double digits. Take this picture from Harper’s Bazaar, for instance, taken in 1999, well over a decade ago.
Inspired by Kate and this late 90s shot, I went on a hunt for good trenchcoats. I’ve found some great ones on eBay, for both men and women. For the ladies, there’s this 80s military trench by Dior or an absolutely stunning Lanvin number in camel. For the gents, there’s this rather wonderfully serious double breasted coat from Dior, as well as a more classic trench in gray, also from Dior. I’m sure Miss Kate would approve.

I would really like to spend my summer on a farm.
