Style Watch: Rat Fur

Nutria (aka GIANT RAT) fur is so the future. I will never forget my first nutria sighting when I was living in Florence. The little bugger was walking underneath the Ponte Vecchio along the filthy arno when my eyes caught its attention. I almost shrieked in disgust, until now. Gilles Mendel and Alabama-based Billy Reid are using it in their Fall/Winter '10 collections. Get ready, Louisiana, we're coming for your roadkill.



Watch out, Master Splinter, we're coming for your children.
