No more fur for Vivienne Westwood
If you needed another reason to love Vivienne Westwood than her uniquely quirky style, here's some good news: the Dame has thrown her weight behind the anti-fur campaign, which seems to be gaining a lot of support from within the once-guilty fashion industry just now.
This means that from now on, fur will be banned from Viv's collections. "We have not used fur of any kind in next season's collection and have no plans to use it in the future," a representative for the label told PETA. This latest development has Westwood’s fashion house joining the likes of Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. PETA has been working hard in the last year to pushing their agenda across, using celebrities like Sadie Frost, Alicia Silverstone and Dita von Teese fronting anti-animal fashion advertising campaigns.
