Fur Traders: Are All Fur Bad Fur?

According to the world clothing and shoe net, recently, a huge poster has been hung up in the downtown area of Manhattan.

The poster is 29 feet wide and 13 feet wide. The poster is naked. Alicia Silverstone sneaks shyly on the grass outside his shoulder, holding a sheep mask on his hand.

The message to the poster is: "I would rather wear naked than wear.

Let's live under our fur and let animals live on their fur. "

When the PETA appeared, you knew that the time had come, the weather became colder and the guide for gifts was much more. Fur (or sheep skin) was once again a topic of discussion. It was a challenge for activists and people who love fur.

But with the start of the Christmas season, stopping to think about another idea may be worth it.

The mind of the designer of the circle: the way to deal with this topic (and product), which means that gratitude should not be limited to food but extends to clothing, and should be considered before its judgement and origin.

What he said may disappoint many people. He knows this too.

In many ways, he is a lonely voice in the wilderness.

Such is the case.

But that does not mean that he is not worth listening to.

Alaskay Sid C is probably the largest city in the United States (its size is four times the size of Rhodes Island), but its population is only about 9000.

To say that this is not a fashionable city, it is hard to ignore it. That is to say that the founder of Shaman Furs Peter Paul Kawagaelg Williams is not a fashionable person, but also despises him.

The people of the

In fact, he was a bit of a slovenly 34 year old Alaska native with long hair and no formal form.

Education, he advertised himself as an "environmental protection", is a member of the people of the jade, he set a mission for himself, to reintroduce the style of sea otter fur into the world, not to mention the traditional concept of hunting for life, and to understand the importance of your clothes.

He is also the protagonist of the documentary "bumper harvest: the people of the UK".

"I think it's really a very small stuff," said Michael Dempster, director of the documentary in California, referring to Williams's business.

"But when I started talking to my friends, their reaction was very extreme. I think there should be something behind it."

On the one hand, it is common (and reasonable) to kill any cute, fuzzy animal.

On the other hand, Williams's products have been widely reproduced locally, deeply felt the "wrong consumption" theory, and we have broken away from joining our wardrobe and clothes covered in our bodies.

"When we wear cotton cloth, we don't think about that plant. We don't think of life or death," he said in a telephone interview in Alaska.

He thinks fur should be positive.

The belief of Williams is inherent, and it is expressed in the form of pencil skirt.

He sewed the hand into a "prayer". He said that hand sewing belongs to him. Hunting equals environmentalism, equal to spirituality.

For him, the popular language of fashion is the best way to enrich the heritage of his group and to ensure the future of these people - partly because his main material is one of the most rare raw fur, which is not everywhere.

Sea otter fur is once the most expensive, because its hair is dense: there are more than one million wool per square inch.

The Chinese call it "soft gold".

It was not until the early twentieth Century that sea otters were hunted almost extinct. In 1911, they were protected by the fur seal conservation and Protection Ordinance.

But in 1972, an amendment to the Marine Animals Ordinance removed the ban on hunting Indians, Aleutian and Eskimos (ethnic groups living on the Arctic coast), as long as their hunting was for survival or for the production and sale of real handicrafts and handmade garments.

The amendment is also aware of the fact that these areas were first colonized by Russians in the early nineteenth Century, and Russians wanted to dominate the fur trade on the sea. The Americans were enslaved in these pactions, which meant that Williams had touched a luxury commodity, which were not found in international brands such as SagaFurs and Fendi.

ShamanFurs is managed by a man, a 900 foot double trailer, as well as a studio and residence. He specializes in hats and vests made of sea otters and seals fur, vests, earrings, pencil skirts, and fur from Williams hunting. He personally and sew (the only step he has not done is tanning), which is a subtle combination of traditional etiquette and modern simplicity.

He used aluminum boats, "smoked" (smoked with Greenland trumpet tea, ceremonial cleansing of the body and soul of animals), a 223Ruger manual rifle and a thin knife, thanking each animal for giving their lives, and giving the sea otters or seals a drink after they died.

These customs can not eliminate the essence of hunting, even for Williams, but this is part of his belief.

He makes hundreds of products a year, a blanket for 5500 dollars, and a retail price of 1500 dollars for a skirt.

His business can maintain his life, but he needs extra income, hunting and planting a lot of food as his food.

Williams did not enter the fashion industry very late. It is no surprise that the route is also circuitous.

He was raised by his mother in a single parent family, left high school when he was 17 years old, and finally tried in Portland, Oregon, but was not so successful as an artist.

7 years later, he returned to tin card and returned to his own history.

He is not the first to see the traditional art of tribal handicraft parallel to the fashion art of handmade costumes, both of which focus on uniqueness and uniqueness.

This idea has led to many companies, such as Maiyet, flaunting the "luxury market brand" that they collaborate with international artists, and also gave birth to the international trade center "national fashion movement".

But without such an old alliance organization, it is very difficult to divide this niche market in the mainstream fashion industry.

Williams knows that he wants to probe into mass production and expand the products he offers.

He is thinking about his coat and trousers.

To this end, he attended the fashion week in New York in February 2015, which is part of the TechStyle exhibition.

Last May, he found his way to participate in the Broolyn fashion week. In this exhibition, he held the first fashion show and finished with 14 models.

He is looking at fashion week in Seattle.

The Dempster documentary has entered several previous rounds of the local American Film Festival in the West Bank. It has just been accepted by the first non local award, the Green Bay Film Festival.

"I know I'm going out of Alaska," Williams said, if he really wants his message to be delivered to the world.

He did not want to change Alicia Silvis's mind or persuade PETA.

His clothes do not say such words, if they try to say, they may not be able to speak.

He just wants to try to guess what he wants, with a needle or a pair of ear muff.
