Furs Quotations

There are people who go clad in tunics and have nothing to do with furs, who nevertheless are lacking in humility. Surely humility in furs is better than pride in tunics.

People don't know about the human part of me that really cares about the world. For instance, I don't know what I feel about wearing my furs anymore. I worked so hard to have a fur coat, and I don't want to wear it anymore because I'm so wrapped up in the animals. I have real deep thoughts about it because I care about the world and nature.

I always feel as if I'm a disappointment: that people want a grand dame in furs like Barbara Taylor Bradford.

I think the secret of her success is that she cuts furs exactly as if she's cutting (the) fabric of her ready-to-wear collection. So she achieves that long, narrow line without sacrificing anything.

If you look around, you don't see young women wearing furs, you see matronly women wearing furs. Furs are no longer chic.

The home of furs and Ferraris, glitter and glamour, the place where movie stars can be spotted in palm-fringed cafe's and where limousines are as frequent as Rocky sequels.

The furs used in these costumes were mostly road kill. And the clothes are all connected with sinew. This work is both archeological and anthropological, and I've never known any other project of this type that has been done on this level. It's fantastic.
