The first and only book of its kind, Fur: A Sensitive History looks
at the impact of fur on society, politics, and, of course, fashion.
This material has a long, complex, and rich history, culminating in
recent and ongoing anti-fur debates. Jonathan Faiers discusses how
fur-long praised for its warmth, softness, and connotation of
status-became so controversial, at the center of campaigns against
animal cruelty and the movement toward ethical fashion.At the same
time, fake fur now faces a backlash of its own, given the
environmental impact of its manufacture and its links to fast
fashion. Divided into five sections-dedicated to hair, pelt, coat,
skin, and fleece-the book surveys not only the politics of fur but
also its centrality to western fashion, the tactile pleasure it
gives, and its use in literature, art, and film. This thoughtfully
reasoned, eloquently written, and spectacularly illustrated
examination of fur is both timely and essential, filling a gap in
fashion scholarship and appealing to a broad audience.
