Without naming names and going runway to runway, there was a plethora of fur shown in almost every style from subtle to ostentatious, including the fluffy fox skirt shown by one household name fashion designer. I felt like I was watching reruns of 80's prime time soap operas where the characters dabbled in glutinous excess on every level, including fur. But have we not progressed from those stereotypes of what appearing glamorous is all about? That was for the
