It seems that Wild has a historical perspective as there is a exhibit at the Met in NY covering my specialty - FUR!
It discusses the 'class access' issues dating back to the Renaissance when fur trimmed gowns were the fashion to the current fake furs that define the 'ethical woman'. As for the men, the 'fat cat' was accessorized with a hat, cigar and fur coat as a symbol of sexual and economic power.
Isn't it great that in this day and age we can all express ourselves with the freedom to wear and be what we like expressing playfulness and fun?! What are your views on this?
