The ugly trend of using real fur in women's fine fashions has returned. Many of the top designers are highlighting fur accents on the runway this season, and the trend is making me sick.
The worst part about it, other than the fact that plenty of innocent animals had to die just to make a coat look expensive, is the fact that a lot of the fur being used is getting dyed all kinds of crazy colors. If you want a coat with hot pink fur trim, why can't you get faux fur? Why can't it be synthetic fur, made hot pink, not a little animal, or many little animals, dyed hot pink?
Designers like Michael Kors know that real fur is tempting for women of status. Real fur still denotes a certain amount of luxury and class. If you are against the practice, do the obvious: don't ever, ever buy clothing made of real fur.
