Blackglama, 1983.

Model: Dayle Haddon.

I was told she’d already turned down the opportunity to pose for one of the most prestigious ad campaigns then in progress: the fur industry’s Peter Rogers’ “What Becomes A Legend Most?” series, for which Richard Avedon photographed top stars, past and present, wearing designer mink coats. Their payment for posing: the costly coat (each worth well over $20,000). Lauren Bacall, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland — and contemporary legends including Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand — along with Ava’s close pal, Lena Horne, were among those who had participated thus far.

Ava Gardner’s reason for turning down the opportunity: “I no longer wear dead animals on my back, honey.” And this was years before the founding of PETA! (x)

This ad ran in 1970 and I remember keeping just this page from the NYT Sunday Magazine.

Photo by Richard Avedon. The shot was not posed; he said something to her and she turned around to scold him - and he captured that instant which became the photo used for the ad.

Many legendary stars, men and women alike, posed for Blackglama Mink Furs under the ‘What Becomes A Legend Most?’ ad campaign from 1968 to 1994. The name Blackglama is an ad agency’s amalgam of the words ‘Black’ for the color of the minks used and the 'Great Lakes Minks Association' (GLAMA) of Kenosha, WI. Lucille’s 1984 photo session as spokesperson did not go well and she was very uncomfortable about the whole process. Initially, she was to appear in a less sophisticated pose with blacked out teeth and messy tousled hair reminiscent of her look as 'The Queen of the Gypsies' from her 'I Love Lucy' days. At the last minute she agreed to change her look, at husband Gary's request, and take a more glamourous approach. A decision she would later regret. "I heard the shoot was a disaster. Lucy was a nervous wreck and drove everybody crazy. Gary held Lucy's hand and reassured her. She blamed him for getting her involved in the first place. Way's (Bandy) was much too heavy and in the end Lucy looked mummified. The coat never fit right on her body no matter how they draped or pinned it. In fact it wasn’t even a coat at all—just some skins loosely sewn together.”—Lee Tannen, I Loved Lucy, My Friendship With Lucille Ball. #lucilleball #blackglama #fur #mink #adcampaigns #ad #advertising #glamour #legends #photosession #amalgam #minkcoat #minkfarms #minkranch #waynelvslcy #mummified #heavymakeup #ilovelucy https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPuucHPmcy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Real Fur Coats for Women and Men

For the men and women in your life who love a subtle luxury Christmas gift, a men's real mink or fox genuine fur parkas coat is an ideal choice. While furriers don't typically put the gender a fur coat was designed for on the label, heavier furs are usually designed with men in mind and lighter furs are geared towards women.

A genuine fur coat is a high-quality fashion accessory that's meant to last a long time. It's also a great way to express your personality and sense of style with a touch of elegance that's difficult to find in fast fashion.

Chinchilla Coats

Chinchilla fur is a luxury material that exudes glamour and elegance. It has a rich, dense hand feeling that feels velvety to the touch. It is a favorite among celebrities, royalty, and wealthy people.

A chinchilla coat is a rare item because it requires the skill of a fur master. Fur craftsmen stich the pelts together to create an elegant look. They may stitch the pelts in a diagonal pattern or horizontally.

Since chinchillas are tiny, it takes many of them to make one perfect fur coat. Because of this, it is one of the most expensive coats.

Sable Coats

This precious real fur hood coats is known for its beauty, luxury, and class. It is the most expensive fur in the world, and it requires minimal dressing and processing, allowing it to retain its natural appearance.

It is also resistant to stains, so it does not stain easily and can be brushed to get rid of any dirt or marks. Sable is often used as an accent on women’s clothing, such as a shawl or jacket.

A Russian-made sable coat is a great choice for anyone who wants to look elegant and sophisticated. It goes well with a light dress and high-heeled boots.

Mink Coats

Real fur parka has been a symbol of luxury and extravagance since the 1950s, when women would wear fur coats, capes and stoles passed down to them by their grandmothers. While fur fell out of fashion in recent years, many people still seek to buy mink coats and other types of real fur clothing.

A high-quality mink fur coat can cost upwards of $8,000, depending on the color and country of origin. Look for a smooth, even texture and uniform length. Mink coats made from blackglama, pearl or mahogany fur typically have a more expensive price tag than white mink coats.

Lynx Coats

Lynx coats are a bold, head-turning choice for winter fashion. Natural coloring and spotted patterns make each garment one-of-a-kind.

A coat made from the white spotted belly of this rare fur type is the most valuable. The rest of the pelt is also used for garment production. A lynx fur jacket can cost more than $100,000.

Often combined with sheared beaver or Persian lamb for collar, trim or interior hood lining lynx fur spruces up flat designs. They are also a good choice for lining hats. The pelts of lynx come exclusively from regulated hunting and trapping.

Fox Coats

Fox fur is one of the most luxurious and eye-catching types of fur. It is used in coats, vests, boleros, and full-length jackets.

It is also used in hats and accessories. Fox is an ideal fur to accent other lush garments like shearling and mink coats.

The price of a fox coat depends on the type of fox used, as well as the manufacturing process. For example, a fox coat made with Chinese pelts is usually cheaper than those made in Europe.

Fox fur is durable and can last for years with proper care. However, it does shed occasionally.

Wrapping Fur Stole

Stoles are a great accessory when you need something to keep your shoulders warm but don’t have room for a full coat. They also make a beautiful wrap for weddings, balls, and other formal events. This faux fur stole wrap has lined pockets, so it’s perfect for keeping your hands warm.

To get the most out of your fur stole, pair it with other items made from real or faux fur, like a hat, shoes, or purse. You can also look for accessories in the same color as your fur stole to create a cohesive outfit.

Next stop at the @blantonmuseum - more iconic art on which to feast, ponder, and draw inspiration: 1) Dan Flavin, “monument” 2) Fred Wilson, “Grey Area” 3) Frank Stella, “Miniature Benjamin Moore Series” 4) Andy Warhol, “Macintosh, Paramount, Blackglama (Judy Garland), and Lifesavers” 5) Barbara Kruger, “Untitled (We Will No Longer Be Seen and Not Heard)” - she’s the OG meme-maker as far as I’m concerned 6) Jeff Koons, “Louis XIV” 7) Luis Jimenéz, “Longhorns” w/ Frederic Remington, “The Charge (A Cavalry Scrap)” 8) Sonya Clark, “Madame C.J. Walker” (made entirely of combs) 9) Andy Warhol, “Farrah Fawcett” 10) Cauleen Smith, “Light Up Your Life (For Sandra Bland)” which also alternately reads “I Will Light You Up”, which is what the cop said to her when he pulled her over for not signaling- you may recall she died of “suicide” in jail days later. . We looked at tons more art and didn’t even get to see it all because the collection is so impressive and we got there too late to see everything before closing. I can’t wait to come back again and see the rest- really impressive collection! . @joatwood @blantonmuseum @utaustintx #austin #texas #utaustin #blantonmuseum #art #modernart #contemporaryart #danflavin #fredwilson #frankstella #andywarhol #barbarakruger #jeffkoons #luisjimenez #fredericremington #sonyaclark #cauleensmith #sandrabland #nefertiti #madamecjwalker #judygarland #farrahfawcett #inspired (at Blanton Museum Of Art, University Of Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpt8yudORRA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
