Kendall Jenner is one of the most influential and profitable supermodels in the world today, she not only has 280 million Instagram followers, but also the spokesperson and creative director of many well-known brands. However, her fashion choices also often spark controversy and criticism, especially when she wears fur or imitation fur.
Recently, Kendall walked the runway for DSquared2 at Milan Fashion Week, wearing an oversized fur coat with a silk maxi skirt. The coat looked very luxurious and warm, but it also immediately attracted the wrath of animal protectionists. They believe that Kendall is supporting animal cruelty and killing instead of choosing more environmentally friendly and humane alternatives. Some people left messages on social media, calling her "disgraceful," "ignorant," and "heartless."
Kendall did not respond to the accusations or reveal whether the fur she was wearing was real or fake. In fact, she doesn't seem to care what other people think, as she appeared in the public eye several times in fur or imitation fur coats in the months that followed. For example, when she was traveling in Paris, she wore a Bottega Veneta faux fur jacket and posted a selfie on Instagram, writing "This Bottega faux fur!". She also wore three fur or faux-fur coats in different colors and styles while on vacation in Aspen, one of which was a hand-painted wool coat from Phoebe Philo that sold for up to $27,000.
Kendall's looks undoubtedly show her fashion taste and personality, but they also raise a question worth pondering: is wearing fur or imitation fur an expression of fashion, or is it a cruel act? how has the status and meaning of fur changed in an era of increasing attention to environmental protection and animal rights, and how should we view and evaluate the fur choices of Kendall and other celebrities?
Fur is one of the oldest clothing materials of mankind, and it was once a luxury item that symbolized wealth and status throughout history, as well as a necessity to keep warm and protect from the cold. With the development of industrialization and technology, and the emergence of man-made fibers and other synthetic materials, the demand and value of fur have gradually decreased, and the concern and appeal for animal welfare have also increased. Many animal protection organizations, such as PETA (PETA), have started a campaign against fur, exposing the cruel and unethical side of the fur industry, calling on consumers and designers to refuse to use and buy fur.
Over the past few decades, the campaign against fur has paid off, with many well-known fashion brands and magazines, such as Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Vogue, etc., announcing that they will stop using and promoting real fur in favor of imitation fur or other sustainable materials. Some countries and regions, such as California, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, etc., have also passed laws prohibiting the sale and production of fur. It is estimated that more than 1 billion animals are killed globally every year to make fur, most of them foxes, mink, rabbits, dogs and cats, among others. These animals are often kept in crowded and filthy cages, subjected to starvation, disease, abuse, and fear, and finally died by electric shock, poisoning, strangulation, or skinning. These cruel scenes have left many people shocked and indignant that fur is an unnecessary waste and sin.
However, not everyone is against fur, and not all furs are real. Some people believe that fur is a natural and beautiful material that has an irreplaceable texture and temperature, and is also a way to express personality and style. They argue that there is no need to ban fur altogether as long as it comes from legal and ethical sources, such as wildlife management or by-products of domestic animals. They also believe that imitation fur is not necessarily more environmentally friendly than genuine fur, as imitation fur is usually made from chemical fibers, which produces more carbon emissions and waste, and is not easily degraded and recycled.
In addition, there is a material that falls somewhere between real fur and imitation fur called recycled fur. This type of fur is made from reprocessing old fur products, such as fur coats into fur hats or scarves. The advantage of this fur is that it makes use of the fur that already exists, reducing waste and avoiding killing more animals, increasing efficiency. Some designers and consumers believe that recycling fur is a more rational and sustainable option.
Hope for a more harmonious and beautiful future for fur, a future that respects animals and the environment, as well as people and fashion, a future that is both responsible and ethical, creative and beautiful. We hope that the meaning of fur is a deeper and broader meaning, a meaning that reflects both history and culture, reality and the future, a meaning that reflects both personality and attitude, influence and status.
