What the Fashion Industry Is Saying
“Fur is simply bad design. It’s stuck in the past, it needs to be slowly grown from the body of an animal, preserved in toxic chemicals and kept cool in the heat so it doesn’t decompose or get devoured by insects, as nature intended it to.””
“I stopped using fur in my designs a few years ago and have always been a big proponent of faux fur in my collections.””
“I don’t think it is compatible with modern luxury and with the environment in which we live.””
“Technological progress made over the years allows us to have valid alternatives at our disposal that render the use of cruel practices unnecessary as regards animals. Pursuing the positive process undertaken long ago, my company is now taking a major step ahead, reflecting our attention to the critical issues of protecting and caring for the environment and animals.””
“We are witnessing an unprecedented shift in the way consumers think, starting with the consumer
becoming more conscious and aware of what they are buying. In this age of technology and transparency, a brand needs to take a clear position on important topics such as this one. So, we all need to ask ourselves and take a closer look at how we do business to make sure it’s in line with values we believe in today.””
