Just reading William Gibson’s “Neuromancer” and it mentioned people wearing fur coats made of lab-grown mink fur, pelts grown on a collagen lattice with no actual animal involved, and it totally sounds like something that could happen, except I would be pretty shocked if the tech existed and people limited themselves to traditional fur animals. I’d expect big cats, endangered things, anything exotic…but since when is the future guided by taste? I’m imagining authentic James Dean leather jackets, vintage-style fur stoles and muffs made of cloned Marilyn Monroe scalp.
If they came out with cloning technology that allowed you to buy fur and leather made entirely of cloned celebrity skin and hair, who do you wear? Who would be the popular trend?
Item: authentic Kardashian Kollection leather purse, made of genuine cloned Kardashians
