Be The Center Of Attention With Electrofur

By Catalina Nielsen


Every year, thousands go to the desert in Nevada to express themselves at Burning Man. This arts event is a great place to inspire and be inspired. Lovers of quirky and unusual clothes can be seen everywhere but if you really want to be the center of attention, you need an ElectroFur garment, inspired right here at Burning Man.

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.

The problem with real fur is that it its production causes great suffering. Whether wild animals are trapped or hunted down or whether furry animals are farmed especially for their pelts, there are some serious ethical issues surrounding killing living beings simply for the sake of fashion. For this reason, many people refuse to wear real fur and opt for synthetic versions instead.

Technological advances have made it possible for faux fur to look and feel just like real fur. However, you can also find synthetic furry fabrics in crazy colors like bright pink or green to add some fun to your wardrobe. Burning Man inspired one designer to take it a step further by making fluffy garments that light up too.

The technique used is actually very simple. Small strands of neon lights are woven into fake fur. Hidden batteries provide the energy to make these lights shine, creating a glow. If you need to wash your garment, you simply need to remove the batteries and then soak the piece of clothing in a gentle detergent for delicate 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.

There are wonderfully fun and light-hearted designs available too. If you're looking for a striking Halloween costume, you can simply add a lit-up tail and a hood with ears like an animal's. Western hats with fur trim are perfect for your inner cowboy or if you'd like to be a fairy or butterfly with a difference, you'll love a pair of lit-up wings.

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.
