There Is A Magnetic New Fabric Called Electrofur

By Nita McKinney


Fewer people were wearing real fur coats due to the animal lovers and activists protesting the practice. To fill the fashion gap, manufacturers began producing coats, hats and boots out of a material that resembled real fur. It became widely popular. Now electrofur is here. It is an entirely new type of faux fur introduced that is growing in popularity among millions.

The idea for the new faux fur called electrofur came when a fashion designer dropped a full length white faux fur coat on top of a lighting system. He recognized that the light glowing through the fur was a beautiful sight. He thought of producing coats made out of an illuminated fabric. He would power them using AA batteries to enable them to glow in the dark. They were like the glow sticks children carry around on the Fourth of July.

These fur coats, scarfs, boas and other clothing and accessories have been immediately accepted as a fashion statement by the public. The items come in print, a wide array of colors and some are able to change colors much like a glowing neon sign can change colors. These innovative clothing items and accessories are like sparkling gems.

The animal rights activists are pleased that not as many animals are raised to become fur coats. The electrofur manufacturers are happy that their product is in high demand. The plant in Canada hired extra workers to keep up with the orders. It seems that everyone is eager to buy and wear the amazing new garments.

From the first innovative thought, it was only after four years of hard work that the concept was fully developed. Now the public seems to be having fun wearing the battery powered hats and coats. The pliable neon lighting effect is produced by weaving the components into the material the garments are made of.

It is growing in popularity on a world wide basis. One example is the fashion trend in Japan to wear the glowing fur hats. All over Tokyo these hats are seen, mostly made of the print fabric. This glimmering fabric the hats are made of is even being marked as liked on Facebook.

Boas and shimmering vests are taking the place of flashlights to get around in the dark. Enough light emanates from the garments to see where car keys are in a purse and read the names on the street signs. The garments are not only fashionable, they have a practical application as well.

An annual event is held in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. It is called Burning Man. It is unlike a festival where rock stars are performing. Instead, it is a gathering of creative and outrageous people who want to show others their products, art and ideas. It lasts for a week. All structures are taken down at the close of the event.

While there, people show off new things they have created and everyone is interested in what others have made. It was at Burning Man that the first full length illuminated faux fur coat was displayed. It was only after everyone applauded it in a big way that plans were made to manufacture electrofur for commercial sales.
