pnwhist Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 In case you’re running out of things to read about fur… Community members of an eBoard’s observations of seeing fur out and about in NYC in the early 2000s https://www.fodors.com/community/united-states/fur-coats-in-nyc-99928/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther10 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Okay that’s fine but that article is nearly 25 years old. Can we find a publication that offers this kind of good news that is maybe a little more contemporary? Like maybe from just within the last 8 weeks during this past fall fashion week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find what I can find and share - some people on this forum may want to read about people’s findings and perspectives from a historical angle. Since finding anything on the web related to this subject is few and far between. If I find something current sure …but really, if you yourself are interested in recent fall fashion week, go ahead and do the research and share out to the community.

That’s totally fine if you want to regale us with stories that happened a long time ago. Especially if it was a personal story. But when it comes to an article specifically about the fashion industry, it’s a mere blip in the historical record. The fashion industry has grown so large and so looming over the decades, that even with or without the fur trade associated with it, when your reading a story that came out 20 years ago, it might has well have been from the dark ages. The fashion industry functions at nearly an identical pace as the technology sector. The fur industry has been constantly reinventing itself to try and keep pace and stay ahead of the curve and remain fashion forward, but in order to do so, every trend that has come before it just goes out the window. Very few stores even sell the same kinds of furs that were popular only a decade ago. And hearts and minds (and even trends) have changed with them. So retrospectives are nice, but it’s important remember that they’re not really going to broaden the conversation at this point. Trust me on this one. I’ve brought up my fair share of reflections at work in the past and my bosses just glower at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want it highlighted then don't respond. Also, can we try to have some perspective, please? Nothing that happens on TFD has any relevance whatsoever to the fashion industry. You are gatekeeping empty space, my dude. It should also be noted that OP linked a discussion on a travel forum, not a fashion article. Tell me you commented blind without telling me you commented blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who’d like a summarized synopsis of that forum board. Furs in NYC(Back in 2001) - Fur coats are common in New York City, both during the day and at night. - The number of women wearing furs is notable, especially during colder temperatures. - Faux furs are also popular, but real furs are still seen frequently. - Fur coats are seen on both tourists and locals. - Fur coats are considered warm and practical for battling the cold weather in NYC.
