March 9, 2005 (Press Release) --
Furs Trends 2004/2005
Fur will be used everywhere with knit or fur with leather, shaved fur, fur collars, fur bolero shrugs, fur tippets along with other animal materials such as leather mixed with suede or natural cotton corduroy.
Political correctness and a genuine dislike and boycott of the the use of animal products by some, has meant that fur has been out of fashion so long, that designers have become unused to working with it. However along with the new techniques discussed below and other approaches such as dyeing fur multi colours, many are approaching it with a newly found creative flair breaking old boundaries as they handle what almost seems to some like a new material because it has been out of fashion for 20 years or so.
Statistics suggest that fur sales in Britain have increased by a quarter in the past year. The fur trade business is now worth over £177 million per annum and the average fur wearer is aged 35 today. Fur is worn more subtly today rather than in the full length mink or beaver coats of seasons past.
Typical usage is a simple trim on a hood or wrap scarf and the fur might just as easily be rabbit as mink. In addition fur became fashionable again when it was true vintage fur, where it was a physical impossibility to have been in any position to protest about the trapping of the fur if it was trapped so far back in history such as in the Edwardian era.
