MANHATTAN — A convicted shoplifter with a penchant for high-end furs has been busted by police once again after trying to steal a mink coat from a Manhattan boutique last week, according to the New York Post. Johnnie Taylor, 50, has been in and out of prison since 1987 for swiping thousands of dollars worth of fur coats and other high-end clothes from stores around the city, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys, the paper reported.
In her most recent heist, Taylor allegedly tried to make off with an $8,000 mink coat from Northern Furs Fashion in the Garment District on Jan. 7, police told the Post. But the storeowner recognized her because she had previously stolen $25,000 worth of furs from the same shop in September, according to the paper.
Taylor’s M.O. seems to be to hide the pilfered goods under her clothes by stuffing them in hidden bags or even her girdle, police told the Post. She was charged with robbery and criminal possession of stolen property, the paper reported.

MEN ARE THE FUTURE FUR COSTUMER |

Saturday, 27 December 2008 |
According to trend researchers at the Danish trend group ‘PEJ-gruppen’, future fashion for men will be just as big as fashion for women. In their latest book they state, that it is time for men to be the centre of attention in fashion. Men are namely a so called ‘mega niche’, the book states.
This is substantiated in new ethnological studies, which shows, that the different between women’s and men’s shopping habits are getting smaller and smaller, and that men cares just as much about shopping and clothing as women.
The reason for the new man’s interest in Dressing nice is caused by the modern man, starting to experience different sides of himself, because of more and more men taking a paternity leave. New sides, which are expressed in a more feminine attitude towards fashion and clothing.
And to dress up and wear nice clothes has become more and more common for the ordinary man. The tendency was also clear at the ‘The Golden Fur Pin’s’ 10. year’s anniversary, where several designers had chosen to design fur for men, instead of the traditional fur clothing for woman.
In other words it is a good idea to concentrate on fur fashion for men, because the modern man is not afraid to wear fur and care about fashion. |

FUR PRICES NOW ALSO HIT BY THE FINANCIAL CRISIS |

From Kopenhagenfur.com
The financial crisis left its pronounced mark on the first selling day at Kopenhagen Fur’s December auction, where among others 1.2 million mink skins were offered to buyers from all over the world. At the first day of the auction only 11% of the skins were sold at prices that were approximately 22% below the high level at the latest auction in September.
- The global uncertainty as a consequence of the financial crisis is great. Everybody knows that the real economy will hit hard all over the world, and in several countries recession is a reality. This does, of course, also affect the buyers in our trade, says managing director Torben Nielsen, Kopenhagen Fur.
Traditionally the December auction is the smallest auction of the year, but a good cold winter is still of great importance to the turnover in the shops.
- Buyers are often a little cautious buying too many skins in December, as they will like to have clearer signals from the retailers concerning the turnover of the garments that are already in the shops. Therefore, our next auction in February might be the real litmus test on the effect that the crisis has on mink prices, says Torben Nielsen.
The largest markets for fur are Russia and China. Russia and the Russian consumers are already widely affected by the financial crisis, whereas the effects in China are gradually setting in.
