New York-Based GAR-DE has come up with this Brazeau goat fur skirt that is sure to turn heads with its edgy take on traditional style. Something tells me you'll either love it or you'll hate it, but you definitely won't be overlooked if you're wearing it -- though it might be a good idea to keep a comb on hand to tidy up the goat hair after sitting.
The 21" long goat hair skirt features a hidden side zip, is made of 100% genuine goat fur and retails for just over $900.
