The fur series depict fox fur stoles or mink fur stoles, which have traditionally been worn as accessories and status symbols by elegant and affluent women.
For this demographic to wear a 'dead animal' complete with paws, dried nose and glass bead eyes is somewhat bizarre, as the same animal alive would most probably be considered as 'vermin' and met with disgust or fear by the majority of the wearers.
The act of wearing an entire animal makes a very different statement to using the fur as a precious material removed from the identity of the creature.
