I distinctly remember in the decadent 1980's fur taking a huge spotlight on elite (and expensive) fashion. No longer.
Will the NYC runway ever be the same without them? I think so. Fur has never been a prominent feature in my clothing choices. And yet, many clothes today - especially winter coats - still have fake fur attached to the garment for decorations.
If you've ever had the urge to wear shag-carpet inspired clothes, now is the time for you. Given the choice between a crappy polyester-patterned shirt or an outlandish fake fur piece - which would you choose?
And that's why fur is not going down without a fight, and let's be honest: There are plenty of countries in the world that continue to support the production of fur. And it's the sad reality that you cannot deny.
