Who wore it better?

While we really do our best to ignore Kate Moss and the “news” about her, the irony of her happenings last week is not lost on ishotkatemoss …

In a week in which we explored Heide Hatry’s use of meat in constructing and deconstructing art and our world, Kate seems to have decided, possibly in response to our blog, to pull a different favorite fur coat out each day to be feasted on by the paparazzi and the easily influenced public …

 

For example, according to: the Daily Mail, on May 2nd:  

Kate Moss covers up her lean and slender frame in statement fur coat and stripy skintight pants as she steps out for late evening stroll

“(Kate) proved she's just like every other girl when she stepped out in North London wearing her favourite coat once again on Friday evening. The 41-year-old looked every inch the glamorous fashion icon in an off-white fur coat, complete with bright red and tanned coloured streaks"; and

 

Then the following day (May 3rd) the Mirror noted that: 

Kate Moss proves she's ALWAYS a stylish goddess as she dresses up to local pub in fur coat  

The supermodel was looking all supermodel-like as she was snapped at a pub in the Cotswolds today, wrapping up against the chilly air in a VERY statement fur coat. Wearing huge sunglasses and tight black jeans, the star stood out a mile off. Looking like she'd just stumbled out of LA, the star wore her hair loose and hid beneath the coat as she walked past cameras.

 
 … All on the heels of Kate recently hitting a Paris menswear show in an  “extravagant” designer fur coat.

So, iskm is guessing that the industry is telling us fur is back “in”? Let’s hope not and if they are, please ‘fashionistas’ just ignore them.

We did find a feel good moment scanning the Daily Mail article: “… Kate is reportedly planning to sell actual JAM at this year's Worthy Farm event … A source said: "Kate has been making damson, blackberry and gooseberry jam for some years to give away to friends." … it's not intended as a money-earner for Kate herself. The insider added: "She has always had aspirations of one day being a lady and has told friends that she would like to donate proceeds to a charity. "She will make it the beginning of charitable works that can contribute towards her good name."

Firstly, iskm is in awe of the insider ‘friend’ who stated that Kate “… has always had aspirations of one day being a lady”!

Secondly, her ‘good name’? A PR stunt that we are calling out as celebrity hypocrisy! Who wants to send positive messages to people when it is convenient? Couldn’t be Kate could it?

Need an example, particularly in anticipation of needing to deflect the criticism that has been leveled at Kate’s obsession with fur in the past? You see, it was only a few years ago (Feb, 2010) that PETA reported that: Kate Moss Makes Her Mondays Meat-Free: "Kate’s taken her friend Stella McCartney’s advice and decided to give Meat-Free Mondays a chance".

This clearly didn’t last terribly long or maybe we hazard a guess that Kate simply misunderstood and decided to not wear fur coats, or look at Heide Hatry’s art on Mondays!

We make fun of a great deal of things on this blog, and we often don’t take ourselves (or anyone else) terribly seriously. That being said, at what point in time do we actually have the common decency to say that we aren’t going to participate in this fashion charade, one that causes so much damage and harm to living, breathing and feeling creatures?

STOP WEARING FUR … starting with you Kate Moss, as unfortunately people watch you, believe in what you stand for and follow what you do.

Please paparazzi, don't Shoot. 
For the rest of us: let's not Observe. Slow Down, stop and think. Do not Submit.
