It's one of those texts that I approach one of the trends of this winter.
The 70s are back and brought with them the fur coats, jackets, bags, boots, basically almost everything, although there are patterns and textures that I find truly interesting, whether it's real or false to me everything ends up being the same, I don't personally appreciate it. Seriously, I praise women and fashion designers who where sensitive enough to point out the consequences of the trade of animal skins and they have constantly pressed, over time, the companies of the sector of clothing to opt for more synthetic counterparts. Looking at the last 30 years of fashion history in this particular chapter there has been a clear evolution, the various environmental campaigns, some more controversial than others, were indeed changing mentalities and today is almost a crime a woman to wear a coat of real fur in public, which is a good sign of the new customs. But despite all this, I still do not appreciate this new synthetic fur trend for this autumn-winter, in my view, everything is related to a trauma of my reckless youth. On one of my birthday I receive a beautiful black coat on synthetic fur, the problem only arose when I used it for the first time, imagine me now on public transport, not only I could not almost move (it even seemed I was one of those astronauts walking slow motion in space, I swear!) I felt suffocated, uncomfortable and was even the subject of numerous jokes on behalf of my friends. It was a day to forget, I returned home unhappy and immensly cold, because I had to take off more than once the coat from hell and so, I never used it. To this date the specimen is still hanging in my closet and when I look at it I cannot avoid a sigh, because it is so beautiful, pity is that still makes me itch just thinking about using it again! There it is, after all there is such a thing that I call fashion trauma and this is mine. What is your?
