JENNIFER LOPEZ - LOPEZ'S CONTROVERSIAL FASHION COLLECTION

JENNIFER LOPEZ has sparked outrage with the fur-dominated clothing collection she unveiled at her debut fashion show in New York.

The Latina superstar infuriated animal activists with her designs - which include ivory mink coats and fur straps on evening dresses - shown off at the prestigious final day of New York Fashion Week on Friday (11FEB05).

Saga's marketing director CHARLIE ROSS says, "Jennifer is a great lover of fur.

"SWEETFACE (part of SAGA) is a luxury label and Jennifer wanted her furs... her favourite piece is a bleached silver fox coat with strips of the fox stitched on to a chiffon back."

An unnamed British editor comments, "I think it's bad enough that fur is so dominant in fashion this season.

"But when Jennifer Lopez endorses it she's telling the world that it's cool. If J-Lo thinks it's cool, then so will the millions of kids who idolise her."
