Be The Center Of Attention With Electrofur

By Catalina Nielsen


The annual Burning Man festival is a celebration of creativity and the freedom to express yourself in any way you desire. It's also the place to go if you want to see or wear some very innovative fashions. It was this festival that inspired the creation of a fashion item that will turn heads wherever you go and keep you warm too. In addition, ElectroFur makes it possible for you to wear fur without having to harm any animals.

The earliest humans wore the pelts of animals to keep warm. In some regions, for instance the Russian steppes, fur is still the material of choice for those who need to be outside in the extreme cold. Over the years, the fashion industry started embracing fur as well, especially because it signifies pure luxury.

Unfortunately wearing fur raises many ethical questions. Some species have been driven to near extinction because their pelts are so desirable. Hunting and trapping are very cruel and even farmed fur animals are killed in ways hat cause incredible suffering. This is why many people are now turning their backs on real fur and going for more ethical and economical synthetic furs.

Fake fur often looks and even feels like the real thing. However, many designers use versions that come in colors you'd never find in nature. Bright green, pink or blue fur trimmings can add an element of fun to a garment and one company has now taken it further by selling creations that glow.

To create the effect, tiny neon lights are woven by hand into the fabric so that they're nestled among the furry synthetic fibers. They're connected to a battery pack that's hidden within the garment and these batteries make them light up. When the garment needs washing, you only have to take out the batteries and then hand wash the fabric in a gentle detergent, preferably one specifically for delicate and woolen fabrics.

There is a wide variety of designs available. For true luxury and warmth, you may want a jacket or full-length coat. If you prefer something a little more subtle, a vest or a scarf might be just the thing for you. For something a little more racy, you can opt for a fur-trimmed corset or a fluffy bra. Men can join in the fun too with designs specifically aimed at them.

If you need something striking for Halloween or for any other time that you might want to release your inner animal, you'll find plenty of glowing options. Hoods in the shape of animal heads are cute and a great way to keep your ears warm. Add to this a glowing tail or a pair of wings. Otherwise, you may want to be an urban cowboy by donning a fur-trimmed Western hat.

ElectroFur designs can be worn anytime, anywhere as long as you don't mind turning heads. The company has several design ranges available on their website so you can find that perfect piece for the next music festival or even to go with your prom outfit. No matter how or where you wear your purchase, though, you're sure to have all eyes on you so make sure you have a smile to match the glow that is coming from your outfit.
