A group of Brooklyn designers are staging a fashion show, called Nutria-palooza, in Bushwick, which will feature clothing made from the fur of nutria, the giant rodents that have overrun Louisiana. According to the Brooklyn Paper:
The show will feature two dozen designers, including “Mad Men”-era cocktail wraps, wintery coats, and even a fur-lined wedding dress.
