Fascinating stuff. It’s hard to think of a garment more loaded with various forms of baggage than the fur coat (some military or police uniforms maybe, but that’s a slightly different flavour?).
I was also put in mind of Pandora’s Box, again Lulu’s finery simultaneously obscuring and signifying the very real ways in which she‘s owned by various men in her life?
