Why Is Fur—Real and Pretend—Everywhere Again?
Vogue ^ | 3/6/24 | Ekise Taylor

Posted on 01/16/2025 5:05:03 PM PST by DallasBiff

At first, it just felt like a TikTok trend: Gen Z and millennials wearing vintage fur or faux-fur coats to incarnate the so-called mob-wife aesthetic—an ostentatious mafioso style that takes cues from Carmela Soprano and The Godfather’s Connie Corleone. Then it felt like a celebrity stunt moment: Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber wearing shearling coats in Aspen, Ice Spice wearing repurposed fur to the 2024 Grammys, and Kim Kardashian stepping out in a matching fuzzy Prada set—all within a few months of each other. But suddenly it felt like a real thing

Can’t be a real Furry if you don’t wear real fur.

When I was a teenager, my father bought my mother the best mink coat available at Sax Fifth Avenue and she looked fab in it. Then I went to a private girl’s school in Indianapolis for my last two years in high school. All the other girls had fur coats, so my mother bought me a wonderful sheered raccoon coat. Warm and beautiful, lasted for decades and my daughter wore it in high school to parties on the very cold beach. Coat finally died and we gave it to Goodwill.

Today, however, even in cold winters, I would not under any circumstances kill an animal to stay warm. Wool is great, and animals are sheered, not killed, to obtain wool.

It’s ok to wear fur again because the climate protestors bought all the paint.

Is that a tribute to Raquel Welch in the movie “One Million Years B.C.”? She rocked in that role!

One of my mom’s friends has a vest that she got from her mom. Black Howler Monkey fringe. Very strange.

Doin' the Raccoon--George Olsen & His Music

From every college campus comes a cheer:
"The season for the raccoon coat is here!"
Get a girl and start to hurry her
Right downtown to some big furrier soon
And do the raccoon!
