Fur Overkill F/W 09.10

The use of fur in Miu Miu was just ugly I am not againist designers using fur but I would never wear any real fur.

Really interesting article fashionista-ta - lots of facts I didn't know.

It's like the fur trade is trying to rescue itself from utter destruction from sheer unpopularity, and I believe they can manipulate designers so easily because fur can give that expensive, professional look to collections that make designers look serious about what they're doing. And getting it free? No wonder countless designers jumped at the chance.

And not only that, but it sounds like they are directly underwriting show expenses in what I'm sure must be a difficult time ... i.e., not just the fur but cold hard cash. There's a lot of talk of design integrity, and I guess this is where the rubber meets the road

God, they must be pretty desperate for it to be re-vogued if they're bailing out that much cash.
I suppose as Lagerfeld says "Throwing money out of the window brings more through the front door."
