A fountain of bouncy/frothy fur

Fizzy fur just doesn't work does it;)
The image I'm getting with spumeggiante is one of the fur moving around the face, framing the neckline like a frothy fountain of fur. Of course you could omit fountain and just put bouncy fur.
A fountain of frothy fur could work both for the imagery and the sound. This is fashion writing after all.
