Don’t be so serious. Have a laugh with this season’s best fun fur pieces.
Last season 70 per cent of overseas fashion collections highlighted fur but a strong campaign against its use has been supported by the rise of faux fur.
Spearheading the fun-fur revival are young labels such as London-based Shrimps and menswear designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, with both designers tapping into a free-spirited approach to faux fur separates in myriad colours and plenty of animal prints.
Even Stella McCartney, long known for her ethical stance on fashion has reinforced a no-fur approach with her recent "Fur-free fur" campaign that will highlight special labels marked on the outside of her fake fur pieces.
In a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph, McCartney expressed her reasoning. "I've never worked with leather or fur. It is one of the most negative impacts of the fashion industry on the earth and environmentally. It takes 20 times more energy to produce a real fur coat than one made from artificial fibre."
