Mario Testino/Vanity Fair

Jennifer Lopez has come under fire from animal rights groups by posing for Vanity Fair magazine in a white fox fur coat.
In the new issue of Vanity Fair, J-Lo, who rumored to have tired of being told what to wear by her soon-to-be-ex-husband, poses for photographer Mario Testino wearing nothing but the coat and a pair of gold strappy sandals.
The actress and singer has angered campaigners for years as a result of her love of furs. The magazine has confirmed that she is wearing real fur.

In the accompanying interview, J-Lo, who split from her husband of seven years, Marc Anthony said that ending her marriage was “the hardest decision I’ve ever had to face.”

She says: “Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself – if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.”
The September issue of Vanity Fair is on sale on Friday.

New York luxury shopping NYC

Blue Mink Jacket

New York luxury shopping for less best Places to Shop in NYC

New York luxury shopping for less

It’s still the world capital of New York luxury shopping – and with a little online homework, New York offers real bargains.
Look like a celebrity in this Tortoise Shell Hooded Mink Stroller from Marc Kaufman Furs’ collection

Fur coat NYC skyline
Fur Coats NYC View

“Yes, madam, a lot of our British and Irish visitors say they are surprised at the price differences,” murmurs the subtly scented and suited old-school salesman.
I am peering into a glass-topped cabinet at a collection of diamond rings in Tiffany & Co, on Fifth Avenue. New York, having a Holly Golightly rapture moment. The shop is not only redolent – still – of the comforting glamour it exuded in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It is also much cheaper than the London branch.

The classic Tiffany engagement ring, for instance, costs $8,500 (£5,315) here. That’s £1,000 less than in London, where that same ring – as I know for sure, having recently been shopping with a friend who’s about to propose to a long-distance girlfriend – is £6,300.

The salesman is coy about providing exact London/New York comparisons, so, back at the hotel, pausing only to text my friend with the essential news, I go online to the Tiffany US and British websites. Amazing. The “Tiffany 1837” 18-carat cuff, £4,175 in London, costs $5,500 (£3,437) in New York. Jean Schlumberger platinum and diamond earrings, £2,050 in London, are $2,700 (£1,685) in New York; a 16-stone diamond and platinum ring that costs £5,500 in London is $7,250 (£4,531) in New York.

White Mink Mens Jacket

New York luxury shopping is still the World’s shopping HQ. None of its rivals offer anywhere near as comprehensive a range of delectable things at unbeatable prices. Milan is suitable for hard-edged high fashion, but only if you are not scared by spider-thin sales assistants who stalk around pointedly tidying the hangers behind anyone who dares browse. Paris has the World’s loveliest scents, cosmetics, and lingerie stores, but clothes-wise is hard if you are tall, since almost everything aimed at the shorter French person.

Bangkok is excellent for gems and Tokyo for futuristic beauty and electronic stuff, but they are a long way to go to the shop. Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen have the World’s best shops for calmly-designed homeware but are relatively dull for clothes.

Zebra Dyed Mink Coat

What is especially satisfying about New York is that it is easy to compare prices online. Tiffany is far from being alone in operating a usefully informative website (www.tiffany.com). Department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks all run sites that make it easy to see what’s in store and what everything costs.

Clothes make some of the best buys, of course, as long as you shop for American designers. This spring at Saks (www.saksfifthavenue.com), for instance, online research reveals that you will find the 7 For All Mankind “Josefina” boy-cut jeans that are £200 at Net-a-Porter for $198 (£123). The J Brand loose chinos that are £230 at Net-a-Porter are $216 (£135). At the old-world Ralph Lauren store on Madison Avenue (www.ralphlauren.com), the standard men’s polo shirt, £65 in Harrods, costs $75 (£47). Marc Kaufman Furs, New York’s Largest Fur Store (kaufmanfurs.com) And in Bloomingdale’s (www.bloomingdales.com), the famous Juicy Couture tracksuit, still a gym-goer’s staple, £190 at Harvey Nichols, costs $178 (£110).

Chinchilla Fur Bolero Jacket
Marc Kaufman Furs Chinchilla Fur Bolero Jacket

Among accessories, a covetable Nancy Gonzalez crocodile bag that costs £2,200 at Harrods is $2,750 (£1,693) at Bergdorf’s (www.bergdorfgoodman.com). In Bloomingdale’s, Diane von Furstenberg’s “Dahlia” sandals that cost £195 at Net-a-Porter cost $195 (£121), and the sequined Fit Flops that are £50 in London, $60 (£37.50).

Designer silk scarves are 40 percent off regular prices in Century 21 (www.c21stores.com) American cosmetics and skincare brands such as MAC, Laura Mercier, Benefit, Philosophy, and Clinique are almost half the UK price at the 14 branches of cosmetics chain Sephora (www.sephora.com) At Bloomingdale’s, the file-style Trish McEvoy make-up bag, perfect for travel, and £55 at Selfridges, is $58 (£36).

Cameras, netbooks, laptops and other electronics are routinely 30 to 60 percent cheaper than at home at the ever-reliable.

Homewares are often less expensive, but not practical buys unless light or small. In Ralph Lauren’s home department, the crystal Bentley martini glasses that are £100 each in Harrods cost $125 (£78) each, while an “Overlap” picture frame, five inches by seven, £100 in Harrods, is $93 (£59). And there are some excellent deals on sports equipment. A golfer’s Callaway Big Bertha Diablo driver, for example, £239 in London sports stores, is $199.95 (£124) at World of Golf (www.theworldofgolf.com) Admittedly, though, that would be harder to take home than a neat little box from Tiffany.

My ring-buying friend, incidentally, has already booked a New York weekend for himself and his girlfriend – effectively free.

The best times are March-June and October-December – neither oppressively hot nor bitterly cold.

Where to stay
Five minutes’ walk from Tiffany, Saks, and Bergdorf Goodman, The New York Palace (00 1 212 888 7000, www.dorchestercollection.com) have views of the Empire State building from the higher floors. In the Renaissance Gilt, it has the city’s most beautiful dining room – plus an executive lounge for breakfast and day-long free snacks, drinks, and computer use. Doubles start at £246, a spectacular triplex at £927. Downtown, Thompson Hotels’ Smyth (00 1 212 587 7000) is the closest to J&R and Century 21; doubles from £151.

The relaxed new LES (00 1 212 460 5300), also from Thompson, is handily located near the cutting-edge boutiques of the Lower East Side; doubles from £215. (www.thompsonhotels.com)
Where to eat
As soon as you fix flights, book a table for dinner at the new Crosby Street Hotel (00 1 212 226 6400, www.firmdale.com), currently one of the liveliest scenes in the city. Alternatively, try the thoroughly American Standard Grill (00 1 212 645 4100, www.standardhotels.com) at The Standard Hotel in the heart of the Meatpacking District.
Getting around. luxury shopping, best part of NYC. The essential bus and subway fare is $2.50. A multi-trip MetroCard is useful, bought from any subway station. However, nothing beats bouncing over the potholes and steam vents in a yellow cab.

Virgin Atlantic (08448 747 747, www.virginatlantic.com) flies to NYC five times a day, from £361 economy to £2,047 Upper Class.

Fur is Back in Fashion with a Vengeance

Trendy Fur Coats and Jackets

Fur is Back in Fashion with a Vengeance: Will You Embrace It?

by Nora Crotty


Two Tone Brown and Black Mink Coat Puffed Collar exclusively from Marc Kaufman Furs’ collection. Supporters call it “natural” and “sustainable.” Opposers say it’s cruel and inhumane. But whichever side you fall on, there’s no denying that fur had a major presence on the fall 2013 runways this past month, being hailed as one of the biggest trends for next season.

Golden Sable Coat
Golden Sable Coat

Fur is Back in Fashion, Striped, dyed, embossed, and manipulated, the sheer amount of real animal fur we saw this fashion month was more overwhelming than we remembered from seasons past. We scoured through every single photo of every single collection that walked this season and found that a startling 70% of the designers who showed during fashion month used fur in at least one look. Several collections, including those by Altuzarra, Marc Jacobs, and Louis Vuitton, incorporated fur into over 20 looks. Others still, like J.Mendel, Marni, and Giambattista Valli, used fur in more than 30.

And then there was Fendi. Karl Lagerfeld apparently had some fuzzy vision happening while designing the Italian label’s fall line: Every single look from the 40+ piece collection featured multiple instances of fur usage, including (but certainly not limited to) coats, handbags, sunglasses, shoes, and even mohawk-esque hair pieces made of dyed fox. Needless to say, there were zero PETA pie-ings reported.

So is it safe to say that fur has finally fallen back into favor? Wearing fur has always been a hot button issue. Once considered the most regal and luxurious of materials, the animal rights movement first brought attention to the alleged wrongdoings of the fur trade in the late 1970s. In that same vein, the Internet age has beckoned an onslaught of viral anti-fur videos showing the horrific living (and dying) conditions of innocent animals skinned alive for their pelts–inspiring a new generation to think anti-fur. Veganism, more prevalent than ever amongst health-freaks and animals lovers alike (see: Anne Hathaway), promotes a lifestyle completely devoid of eating–or wearing–anything that once had a face. Not to mention the city of West Hollywood, California’s historic ban on the selling of fur products, slated to go into effect this September.

White Mink Coat Full Length

According to Keith Kaplan, executive director of the Fur Information Council of America, the case against fur is due mostly to a lack of education–and the fashion world is at the forefront of changing those misconceptions. “Designers have done their homework,” he told us via email. “They have come to recognize that the fur industry is committed to the humane and responsible treatment of animals and that no industry is more highly regulated at local, national, and international levels.”

Fur is Back in Fashion, Dyed Green Silver Fox Fur Vest, exclusively from Marc Kaufman Furs in NYC Kaplan went on to describe fur as an eco-friendly option, calling it a “natural, renewable, biodegradable resource”–and thus a smarter choice than synthetic fur, which he says is petroleum-based, non-renewable, and manufactured in such a manner that “releases harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.”

Furthermore, “fur has a unique and unparalleled richness and texture that even the best of faux cannot replicate,” says Kaplan–which may explain why Marc Jacobs chose to show almost cartoon-like, stuffed animal-looking stoles for fall, made of very real animal fur.

Of course Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour has made no secret of her penchant for the real stuff and is often credited with introducing it back into fashion. Countless verbal and physical attacks from anti-fur protesters (including a raccoon carcass-bombing during dinner) haven’t dissuaded the first lady of fashion from using it in her editorials since she began her rein in the late ’80s.

But were the fall runways a sign of the fashion industry going green, or something more sinister? PETA‘s Danielle Katz told us that fur-friendly designers, such as Karl Lagerfeld, “use dead animals for shock value” and that, as far as the general public is concerned, “fur remains as popular as a cold sore.”

royal blue mink coat
royal blue mink coat

Katz could be on the right track about the latter. After all, it was our shock at the prevalence of fur at shows like Lagerfeld’s Fendi that lead us to investigate fur’s current social standing in the first place. As for the public’s opinion, is the general populace really looking for a tube of Abreva big enough to wipe out the fur industry–or is the fashion industry simply responding to society’s fever for fur?

We consulted data polling site Gallup.com for the cold, hard, fur facts. Gallup’s most recent survey on the subject, conducted in May 2012, asked participants whether they considered wearing fur morally acceptable. Of the 1024 people included, a resounding 60% saw fur as morally acceptable–a 4% increase from the same poll taken one year earlier. However, in 2012, only 35% believed fur to be morally wrong–a 4% decrease from the 39% who were totally anti-fur in 2011.

Dyed Blue Silver Fox exclusively from Marc Kaufman Furs in NYCThere are of course, as with any poll, various factors at play here, including the age, education, and income of the participants. But if these numbers say anything, it’s that fur’s approval rating has only increased in the past year–and the fashion industry, per usual, is totally in tune.

But what say you? Will you be clamoring for real-fur everything next season and turn your cheek at your house pets’ third cousins, or would you rather save the animals but potentially upset Mother Nature in doing so? Can there ever be a middle-ground when it comes to fur in fashion? We want to hear what you think.
