Easily control the French style

Recently, several sets of fur clothes by Dakota Johnson's "sister" at the street auction can be said to have grown up in the aesthetic of many people. Her three styles with black coffee retro fur directly prove how this dress is perfectly matched.


In fact, "Great Beauty" turns into a "fur beautiful woman" every winter. Various lengths and styles of fur are worn all over the body, with casual makeup, and it is easy to control the French style, which is not worth mentioning.


The fashion icon's fur takes us back to the mob wife trend at the beginning of this year, which literally translates as "help brother's wife" dressing style, presenting a beautiful atmosphere of overall open-mindedness and arrogance, exuding the dangerous charm of domineering women.


Fur is an indispensable plus for this style. Kendall, Kelly, Hayley Bieber, Dualipa, and other fashionistas all have upper bodies, and they are matched with proportional fur coats to create a sense of personal luxury, which not only conveys a sense of strength, but also conveys an uninhibited coolness, perfectly presenting the temperament of a big woman.


Of course, we can also find matching clothes in the show, such as at the Saint Laurent 2024 autumn and winter fashion show, creative director Anthony Vacarello integrated the iconic dark colors into his femininity pieces, with gorgeous fur, revealing a fierce and elegant femininity.


There is also the Russian fur brand NEREJA, which offers a unique sense of detachment through its towering shoulder design.


But in fact, there is a practical issue that many people, including COCO, consider when buying fur - fur production is controversial. Because in the field of fur, in order to ensure the gloss of fur, it is said that many animal skins are obtained by skinning animals alive, which is a very inhumane and cruel event.


Today, nearly 40 animal protection organizations are working together to end commercial fur farming, and more than 20 countries have passed animal fur bans.


Although everyone is very disgusted with this inhumane way of holding fur, beautiful women still can't escape their love for fur, so environmentally friendly fur was born, major brands began to use this new material, and more and more articles recommending artificial fur. It seems that on this issue, artificial environmentally friendly fur is better than natural fur, but through the phenomenon to see the essence, who is the real environmentalist?


At present, the raw materials of artificial fur are mainly artificial leather, acrylic, spandex and other compounds, which are easy to dye, making the fur more colorful and more variable in shape. You don't have to worry about the texture, because today's artificial fur even mimics the texture of animals.


But because of this, artificial eco-friendly fur created through chemical synthesis not only consumes a lot of oil during the production process, but also emits toxic gases and waste to pollute the water source. It is said that during the entire production process, artificial fur produces about 17% higher carbon emissions than natural fur. Wastewater and non-degradable harmful components are eventually absorbed by plankton and reach people's tables through the food chain. At this time, harmful substances accumulate to the maximum, but are eaten by people.


At the same time, because of the low price and style of artificial fur, many people don't wear it for a few seasons, put it at the bottom of the box, or even throw it away. In particular, the Organic Waste Systems Laboratory in Kent, Belgium, conducted experiments and finally concluded that in waste sorting, artificial fur is equivalent to plastic waste, and it takes hundreds of years to half decompose.


Paul Stockell, head of standards and sustainability at the International Fur Trade Federation (IFTF), also told the South China Morning Post: "Faux furs have no ethical advantages in terms of environment and sustainability, they are extracted from unsustainable petroleum products and cause a lot of long-term pollution during manufacturing and waste disposal." However, real fur can be preserved for a long time and is easily degraded after long periods of refinement and non-toxic tanning. " (Source: China Leather Association
