Clothes Made From Your Pet's Fur - Canine Couture



These are not just ordinary portraits of people posing with their pets. Look a little closer and you will see that the owners are wearing clothing that resembles the fur of their dogs. They’re not just trying to dress like their dogs—they are literally wearing the same thing as them.



These owners have their clothes custom made out of the fur from their pets’ bodies.



This is a series of photographs (part of an ongoing project) by photographer Erwan Fichou, of people posing with their dogs, wearing clothing made from the fur of their own pet dog/s.



The hair, once recovered after brushing, is carefully preserved until the necessary amount for knitting is collected. The hair is spun into balls of 50 grams by a specialist, before returning the fabric via mail to the owner. The hair is then used to construct the garment.

The whole idea makes me want to sneeze uncontrollably!

kind of cool as an art installation, kind of ugly as a fashion item, and kind of creepy as a social thing! LOL

Interesting! Wouldn't wanna be wearing it around people that have bad allergies!

I have a feeling that those sweaters would get really itchy.

I think its gross I wouldnt wanna be wearing my dogs fur. I think making them a sweater of their own hair might be cute though.

that's out there. I wonder how long it takes to collect enough hair to make a sweater. This is just one step closer to the idea of pets looking like their owners.

hahaha that's funny! i used to think about stuffing a pillow with my horse's (since my dogs up until a couple years ago weren't shedding breeds) shed out hair.

Hmm....I don't know. Kind of odd!

i mean all i can really think of is 'why would you want to do that and wouldnt it be itchy?'

Hmmm, I wonder what the dogs think of it. lol

I wonder how much time it would take me to have a coat made of my cat's fur.
