Kate Moss' Fur Jacket: Love It Or Leave It? (PHOTOS, POLL)

We're beginning to think Kate's got a new signature style.

We'd always thought of the model in those flimsy white tanks, harkening back to her waif days, or in those iconic Hunter wellies she made famous back at Glastonbury.

But these days, Miss Moss is all about the fur. A few weeks back she caught our eye wearing a black, hairy jacket to a George Michael concert.

And last night she hid underneath a majorly furry hood as she made her way to The Hoping Variety Show benefit.

Of course she's not the only one sporting the furry trend: plenty of celebs have gone fluffy, even at last night's Hoping Variety Show. Moss posed with party planner Fran Cutler, wearing a oversized brown (faux?) fur jacket, as well as Fiona Young, Kate's longtime personal assistant, wearing a jacket with hairy black sleeves.

So does being a Friend of Kate mean hopping on the (fake) fur train? Check out last night's party pics below.

In this day and age, there is no reason to wear "real" fur, faux fur looks real and saves an animals life.

I sure hope that is FAKE!!! If not then she should be banned from public. Animals that are bred for their fur are kept in HORRIBLE conditions..When it's time to kill them they are pulled out of the cramped cage, a probe is inserted into their rectum and they are electrocuted to death. No doubt a very painful way to die. This is done so as not to mess up the fur. Unless you are willing to die this way then don't make an animal die this way..BAN FUR!!

Kate Moss is a has been, all washed up and lookin sickly. I dont care about faux fur, but if it was real, then we should be able to skin Kate and wear her.

Wool is shaved off the animal. Leather comes from cows that are already used for other purposes (food, etc). The fur that's the problem in fashion is from animals like fox, mink, etc that are kept in horrible conditions and electrocuted/skinned alive for their fur, while the rest of the animal is thrown out. To me, it's the wastefulness of the whole situation that makes the whole fur trend terrible, as well as the torture these animals go through.

Let's not lose perspective. Evolution is evolution and needed. I am not for cruelty but If everything lived we'd be in trouble. Man has been using animal skins/furs forever. If not abused and monitored I see nothing wrong with it. Remember, if you take a person's right away to wear fur, eventually your right to speak, protest and voice your opinion will be taken away. You are entitled to your feelings and beliefs, it's America, let others be entitled to theirs.

Now you are being abusive to humans who don't have the money to buy thousand dollar fakes to suit PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals).

God charged mankind with husbanding His animals, not becoming slaves to them.

cindithegreek - We are all neanderthals. Me I guess for letting people decide for themselves on what to wear, and you for the way you treat your fellow human being. Obviously you are nicer to animals than you are to people.

I don't like it even if it is not real...I don't like anything that looks like it is made out of an animal...

One poster here made a very valid point. In todays global economy there are very few regulations on fur manufacturers around the world. There was a recent incident where clothing being marketed as faux fur was actually dyed skins from cats and dogs. A word to the wise Faux just means its fake sable or mink or whatever it may still be real fur. We used to wear animal skins to keep warm but in todays advanced society there is no reason to kill an animal just for clothing.

By the same logic there is no reason to kill an animal at all, particularly to eat. I trust that you refuse to sit on leather seats of any kind and that you don't use leather accessories such as belts, shoes, wallets, purses or gloves. You don't use makeup do you? That was tested on tortured lab animals and made with a tallow base that is animal resin. You don't drink cow's milk do you? In order to keep dairy cattle producing milk they have to be kept producing calves. You don't want to support the veal industry do you? I trust you don't wear wool clothing or use pillows that contain feather down or that you use a winter jacket that has goose down. I trust you don't eat pork or chicken either. The fates of those animals is far far more gruesome that the animal shot and skinned for some fur coat.

Re: "Kate's giant leopard coat":

1) It isn't a "giant" coat, for heaven's sake, it's a slightly long-ish jacket;
2) It may not even be real, we don't know (some fakes look pretty good in a photo); and
3) Real or fake, it sure as HELL isn't leopard -- it isn't even lynx; it's bobcat (or bobcat pattern). Leopards don't have spots, they have rosettes. Even if it were real leopard, which are protected, she'd be dealing with Customs agents in a big, big way.

I doubt this is faux, I have seen her in animal skins prior. The skins do not belong to her, they belong to the animals she is responsible for killing.

I think she makes the coat look good.

Nope don't like it. That fur looked much better on the animal in which it came.
