Lisa Barlow Defends Wearing Real Fur: ‘It’s Back in Fashion’

Consider yourself warned, animal lovers. Lisa Barlow She won’t take any crap for wearing real fur. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star has declared that fur is “back in style,” and she plans to keep wearing real fur.

Is faux fur old news?

No one really looks to the RHOSLC cast for any fashion cues, but Us Weekly asked Lisa about her bold choice to wear fur regularly. During our chat, she was very partial to real fur. She says it’s on trend, and the many cruelty-free faux fur options don’t seem to suit her.

“I’ve always been a fur lover,” Lisa proudly states. “I know it’s controversial, but I love wearing fur.”

When Lisa has previously confronted her on the subject, she has said that wearing real fur is “better for the environment.” At this point, it sounds like she’s just begging for a visit from PETA. However, she continued her pro-fur onslaught, saying there’s nothing inhumane about her fashion choices. Instead, she said that animal lovers need to do more research into the ins and outs of the animal fur industry.

“I think if you really do your homework, you see if it’s made sustainably,” Lisa claimed. “It’s really important for you to wear that instead of faux fur.”

Lisa and her fur are back on our screens when The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premieres on Bravo, September 18 at 9/8c.
