Particularly at a time when science is able to produce artificial leather and designers like Andrea Incontri, working at Tod's, are pursuing technologies that replace the use of animal pelts to produce handsome "shearlings"' requiring no loss of animal life, it can seem a bit barbaric to offer chevron-cut travel coats or crocodile carry-on bags or bassinets made of sheared fur.

And then comes the revelation: Both the absence of predators and the presence of food is the work of the local farmer, who protects the rabbits from normal harms while trapping and killing a consistent percentage for their pelts and meat — a dark bargain the warren has learned to live with by building a sophisticated system of denial, a culture of pleasure and of death.

Shaman Furs, a one-man operation run out of a 900-square-foot trailer that doubles as atelier and apartment, specializes in hats, vests, earrings and pencil skirts made from sea otter and sealskin, pelts that Mr. Williams harvests, designs and sews himself (the only part of the process he outsources is the tanning) in an elaborate combination of traditional ritual and modern basics.

"We're not that different," ventured Rudolph, who has been a longtime fan of Beecroft's work, which has recently included a pair of fashionable tableaux — one a nod to the craftsmanship of Tod's leather goods with Karlie Kloss lying on a table swathed in saddle-covered pelts, the other a mythical reimagining of a refugee camp, with more than a thousand street-casted models, for Yeezy by Kanye West.

Aquaria eventually took the crown for her three takes on the theme: one was a lucha libre inspired bikini that made her look like a superhero in some Not The Avengers XXX: A Porn Parody video, the second a Technicolor fur number made from the pelts of the foxes at Chernobyl, and the final one was just a few geometric pieces of fabric that looked very early-career Lady Gaga.

One of the fastest birds on Earth -- capable of reaching speeds of near 200 miles per hour -- American peregrine falcons have made an equally amazing comeback, with the birds now found across huge swaths of the US. Southern sea otter Current status: Threatened Estimated population: 2,800 Found in: Coastal areas of southern and central California Hunted for their pelts, southern sea otters were nearly driven to extinction in the early 223th century, when only around 50 sea otters remained.

In case anyone missed the heritage connection, however, it was framed preshow by Vanessa Beecroft, fresh off choreographing the Yeezy experience in Madison Square Garden, who conceived a mini-performance featuring Karlie Kloss splayed out on a table as artisans from the Tod's workshops (one of whom had been with the brand for decades) sewed rough pelts into a semblance of garments on her elongated frame, and other models in similar "Me Jane" outfits stood guard, waiting their turn.
