Is this real fur?
No. Never.
Why not?
I'm a vegetarian. I guess I might wear vintage fur, but new fur, definitely not. But I think this looks good enough.
So this is kind of like the Tofurky of fur?
Yeah, exactly.
Have you ever had someone come up to you angry thinking you were wearing real fur?
No, I'm from London, so everyone wears faux fur or real fur there.
Have you noticed any weird fashions in New York?
Not really, I think New York's not as crazy as London — if anything, it's a lot more gentle. You see a bit of stylish things but not in the same way as London. I think no one really shocks here and there's a bit more of a uniform.
What trends are you seeing in London now?
Grunge is really back in London, so lots of girls have faded pink or green hair and there's a slight goth-y sense to it as well. The ‘60s and ‘70s are back in. And the ‘20s as well.

Even the mannequins in London are outrageous...In Camden Market, they were all sneering like Billy Idol.
Helloooo Arielle and Sacha...<3
the hypocrisy generation...do what I say...not what I do
1.The hypocrites here admitted to being hypocrites 2. Just because one person may be hypocritical within the realm of his/her own actions, that doesn't mean that he or she is telling anyone else not "do what they do". For example, Arielle and Sasha are vegetarians who wear fur. While there may be a moral disconnect between those two things, that doesn't mean that they would criticize someone for eating meat. It doesn't mean that they use their eating habits to achieve a sense of moral superiority, does it?
Admission of hypocrisy doesn't somehow make OK. And not only did they admit hypocrisy but then tried to rationalize ("Because to me, if you’re going to wear a pair of leather boots, what’s the difference between a cow’s life and a rabbit’s?"). Like, at least be consistent. If you have the cajones to wear the fur, don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
Now you say something
