"Real fur was one of the hottest trends at New York fashion week, leaving animal rights activists PETA furious.
The Michael Kors show sparked the trend for Russian-style fur hats, a look that was immediately picked up in New York's sub-zero temperatures by celebrities including Melania Trump.
Fashion insiders such as the Telegraph's Hilary Alexander, also praised the look, saying: 'I have very fine hair, so when I wear one, I feel like I've got really big hair.'
But, big hair comes at a cost says PETA.
'[The hats] are so obnoxious-looking, they only appeal to the most desperate attention-starved fashion victims,' said PETA representative Michael McGraw. 'For most people, they remain about as popular as a cold sore.'
He also extended his criticism to the many designers, including Badgley Mischka, Carlos Miele, Oscar de la Renta and Bill Blass, who all used real fur in their collections and the swarms of fashionistas, including Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, who braved the cold in an array of animal skins
'It's an ugly look and an ugly statement that every person who wears them is making, that they have zero regard for the millions of animals.'
