“How Fur is Becoming the New Onscreen Smoking” caught my attention when I Googled “using fur in film production,” searching if there’d been much conversation about the subject of fur use in onscreen costuming today. 

Is it taboo? I asked myself after a recent conversation with a director. 

What can costume designers propose when historically or culturally the depiction of furs would be “correct” for a group or character? 
This Hollywood Reporter www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/fur-trend-new-onscreen-smoking-1236071394/ feature story is an interesting read with insights from costume designers who incorporated vintage or vegan fur in their storytelling in high profile projects this past year. It also highlights new points to bring up with producers or actors in pre production…it’s not just about actor comfort or allergies anymore.
