2018伦敦时装周宣布不使用皮草!时尚也环保了...
London Fashion Week will not feature any animal fur clothes or accessories on the runway this year, making it the first fur-free major fashion week. The announcement comes from the British Fashion Council (BFC), who surveyed designers ahead of the shows and found none of the 80 designers in the September line-up would be using fur. During last year's LFW, there were 250 anti-fur protesters, The Guardian reported, and a show in February saw an activist storm the stage at a Mary Katrantzou show. Ahead of this year's fashion week, set to take place September 14 to 18, an open letter written by singer Paloma Faith and published by Peta also called for LFW and the BFC to ban animal fur. The letter read: “The BFC shouldn't be endorsing a material whose production is deemed so cruel that it is outlawed in the UK. “With the vast number of cutting-edge, eco-friendly faux furs available on the market today, I'm sure you'll agree that there's no longer any excuse for killing animals for their fur.” The BFC's news has been met with support from people on social media, who have applauded the designers choosing to forgo the use of animal fur. “I am so overwhelmed and elated that fur has been banned from London Fashion Week! Progress!” Faith wrote. |
