Fur & Fashion – Controversial or classy?
Whilst nowadays haute couture houses & high fashion designers often still use fur and the likes, for the average fashion enjoyer it is likely anything but agreeable. Yet looking at these beautiful photographs (all taken by Edward Steichen), it is no wonder that furs still manage to impress.
And truly, I myself am struggling trying to pick a favourite out of all these photographs!

Tagged with 1930s due to the majority of these photographs being taken in that decade ;)
