London Fashion Week officially without fur!

This is a significant and commendable step forward in the fashion industry. The British Fashion Council's formal ban on fur at London Fashion Week reflects a growing awareness and acknowledgment that compassion and ethics should be integral to the world of fashion. By incorporating this ban into the application process, the BFC sends a powerful message that fur belongs to animals, and its use in fashion is no longer acceptable.

PETA extends its sincere gratitude to the 100,000 supporters who advocated for this ban and the dedicated activists who protested against fur at London Fashion Week. The fashion industry is evolving, with designers recognizing the importance of cruelty-free practices. This fur-free stance not only aligns with ethical principles but also acknowledges the environmental and human rights concerns associated with the fur industry. It's a positive stride towards a more compassionate and sustainable future in fashion.

In recent times, fur farming has faced significant scrutiny on a global scale, resulting in outright bans in several countries, including Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luxembourg, Serbia, Italy, France, North Macedonia, the Netherlands, and the UK. While countries like China and Poland, alongside Finland, still permit fur farming, concerns raised by animal rights advocates and alarming health incidents in the past persist.
