Fur

As the world is turning its back on fur, Copenhagen Fashion Week joins the fashion weeks of Amsterdam, Helsinki, and Oslo in going fur-free.

Those who wear fur – whether new or second-hand – are promoting the torture of animals and supporting the flagging fur trade by acting as a walking advert for cruelty.

Will Fendi replace archaic and environmentally destructive animal skin with luxurious, sustainable vegan materials?

Protesters are calling on the MoD to end its support of the slaughter of Canadian black bears, whose skin is used to make the purely ornamental King’s Guard’s bearskin caps.

Stephen Fry narrates a new video exposé showing bears being shot with crossbows and revealing the shocking connection of this blood sport to the King’s Guard’s bearskin caps.

The long-awaited London Fashion Week fur ban has finally arrived: the British Fashion Council formally recognises that fur belongs to the animals born in it.

PETA recently obtained evidence that the MoD is aligning itself with Furmark, a humane-washing fur industry marketing scheme.

We urge all other designers to cut ties with these cruel trades and embrace a compassionate – vegan – future of fashion.

PETA dumped “bears” outside the MoD building to protest the 498 bearskin caps that were made for the King’s Guard between 2017 and 2022.

The Liberal Democrat Autumn Conference saw animal advocates call for manifesto commitments to ending animal testing and the use of bear fur for royal guards’ caps.
