As animal- and plastic-free fur alternatives continue to improve in quality and environmental impact, the caging of wildlife for fashion is under a microscope as the fashion industry looks to redefine what “luxury” truly means.
Overview
Title: Caged wildlife: how animal fur became unfashionable
Date: Tuesday 24 September 2024
Duration: 29 minutes
Summary
Once associated with luxury and status, animal fur has increasingly fallen out of fashion. Recent polling suggests a growing sentiment toward animal welfare by today’s consumers, which has led to corporate bans on animal fur from some of the biggest names in fashion, including Gucci, Armani, Neiman Marcus, ELLE magazine and many more. New laws like California’s ban on the sale of new fur products and Italy’s ban on fur production have led to a steep decline in fur imports and production, and the European Commission is currently reviewing a Citizens’ Initiative that would potentially end the fur trade in Europe. As animal- and plastic-free fur alternatives continue to improve in quality and environmental impact, the caging of wildlife for fashion is under a microscope as the fashion industry looks to redefine what “luxury” truly means.
