Beyond not wanting members of PETA to pour fake blood on you, there are many reasons to trade in real fur for the faux kind ' it's less expensive, not raised on factory farms, and often looks just as good or better than the real thing. Case in point: Junior and senior fashion design students at Moore College of Art and Design created fake fur pieces for tonight's Jumpstart Fashion Show, and they're stunning, playful and super inventive. Materials used include toothpicks, nails, bobby pins, Brillo pads, dusters, mops, plastic bags and cotton balls ' basically things lying around unused in most homes. Which brings us to another upside of faux fur: It can often be made from found and recycled materials, which, in our opinion, is a lot more respectable than simply buying so-called organic fur.
The fashion show is going down from 6-6:30 p.m., for free, at Moore College (20th Street and Ben Franklin Parkway, 215-965-4000). Click below for more images from the event.
