animal prints

so theres a difference, there animal print and animal prints. its like that word that means more that sounds the same but is not. like won and one, here and hear, fat and phat and any other ones you can think of. 

theres the animal skin patterns that we the material of McQueens futuristic, reptile line that awarded him many admirers or the animal prints that would get supported arrested for throwing red paint. I personally prefer McQueens approach and do not support the poaching of wild animals for what is rightfully theres but at the same time, ruining it with paint just makes it 10 times worse in my eyes. If its already been taken, nw you've just made the whole poaching usless. It's like this story i heard on the radio, a briald shop was going out of buisness, so rather than donate the gowns, they sray painted them and threw them in a dumpster. now what good dos that do anyone. these acts make the murder of these animals all in vain and its just not fair.







So for spring/summer 2010 McQueen came out with the collection that he called 'Plato's Atlantis.' There were butterfly wings and reptile scales in all different patterns that made up this collection, and to top it all off, there were impossible shoes that the models strutted in down the runway. Only people like lady gaga who has never failed to shock us took on the challenge of these shoes that would likely be responsible for a broken bone if you fell. This was one of the fist collections when i and im sure the rest of the world noticed his greatness and then months later he took his own life.





Furs are another story, i hate them. I hate the fact that wild animals have to be brutally killed so the rich can enjoy them. it kind of reminds my of silence of the lambs and the imfamous serial killer ted bundy. now everyone realized there was something wrong with what he did so why do they feel the same when it comes to aminals. I think fur is pretty and all but there are some great substitutions that you can even tell are fake and thats what people should be investing in. The one that makes me really sad is the poaching of my favorite animal, the elephant. they're poached for their ivory which is their tusk and thats it and frankly, i think ivory is ugly and gaudy.
