ecological fur

WTF?!! The only 'ecological' real fur I can think of is fur from an animal which has died from old age and was not bred for the fur industry.

They want to take part in being ecological, but it’s hard for them to find a way to do it,

Duh. Not using fur would be a start....

Does Sarah Jessica Parker actually wear fur? I can find a statement from her on the PETA site saying she doesn't, but another site saying that she does.

Anyway, ecological fur means plastic-backed real fur? Only in Japan, to use a cliche!

“Ecological fur” sometimes refers to fake fur, but Imai uses real fur. Her so-called ecological designs use polyester strips and fabric with genuine fur. A bolero, for instance, has real fur trim, but the fabric parts and the lining are all recycled polyester.

What a crock of crap, the problem is not the jackets are non recyclable but the fact you're using real fur on them. Using re-cycled materials for the liner doesn't make it better.

Semperfi,

So is Imai. Like many designers, she's a moron who wastes valuable oxygen.
