So apparently fur is dead?! In the war of fur 'v' faux where are we meant to stand? Surely if it is acceptable to wear leather shoes and angora jumpers then a rabbit fur coat is ok, it too is a by product of the meat after all!
What most don't realise is, that the super-brand; McQueen, Fendi, Joseph, Vuitton, Galliano and the rest, will only use fur from specific manufacturers, who dispatch furs to these said brands from animals that have not been slaughtered inhumanely - not saying that this is of any conciliation at all and am not endorsing it.
Anna Wintour was quoted as saying "when fur is not in fashion then we (Vogue) will stop shooting it" which mirrors the opinion of super fearless Editor Carine Roitfeld.
Her August issue 2008 shoot with Testino featuring Raquel Zimmermann literally sticking hermiddle finger up at PETA protesters.
Agree with her or not, you can't deny that this shoot is AMAZING and really pretty brave!
Where do you stand?

I keep switching my view on fur,
ReplyDeleteI just cannot make up my damn mind.
Amazing shoot but I still don't like people wearing fur!
ReplyDeleteNO FUR!
It is a great stand vogue was taking, it showed they are brave enough to feature a shoot like that, but my opinion will always be no fur
