Last Year's Fashion — Fur
CONFIRMATION that wearing fur is outmoded overseas can be found in recent statistics on the fur industry. In Britain The Hudson Bay House, the UK’s major furmonger, has closed shop and retreated to Helsinki. The trade magazine Fur Review has ceased publication. In Finland 1000 fur factories have closed and in the Netherlands there are only 32 furriers where there were once 400. The Madison Square Garden's annual Fur Expo was cancelled for lack of interest, and one of the world’s leading fashion magazines, Mirabella, notes: "This is not the year to flaunt fur." All good news for the world’s threatened furry species, but not so good news for New Zealand's possum-besieged native forests.
