Have All Eyes On You 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.

While fur is certainly beautiful, it's also the most controversial material used in fashion today. Its production involves extreme cruelty to animals and a growing number of consumers find it impossible to justify the suffering of other creatures for the sake of fashion. This is why the market for synthetic alternatives has grown so much.

Faux or fake fur can look and feel very realistic. Some designers, however, prefer dyeing these fabrics in other colors. A bright pink or lime green fur trim, for instance, can turn any garment from plain into something eye-catching and fun. After having a brainwave at Burning Man, one designer went even further and created a way to make fluffy, glowing garments.

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.

Among the garments available are luxurious full-length coats and jackets. You can also buy vests or scarves if a coat is a little too over the top for you. Furry bras or corsets with glowing fur trim are a fun and incredibly sexy option for warm weather. There are designs specifically for men too.

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.
