Dolce & Gabbana Joins The Hottest Trend In Fashion - No More Animal Fur
Dolce & Gabbana joins other fashion giants that ditched animal furs in their collections. So no animal fur will be seen on D&G shows on the catwalks.
Italian luxury group Dolce & Gabbana will stop using animal furs in all its collections starting this year, the fashion brand announced on Monday, in a joint statement with the Humane Society International Animal Rights Association, Reuters reports.
"The entire fashion system has a significant social responsibility role that must be promoted and encouraged," said Fedele Usai, the company's communication and marketing officer, in an official statement.
"Dolce & Gabbana is working toward a more sustainable future that can't contemplate the use of animal fur."
Dolce & Gabbana will switch to eco-friendly fur accessories and clothing but will continue to work with fur specialists to preserve jobs and know-how.

In Italy, fur farming is banned as of this year and more than a dozen countries have moved to either restrict or limit fur farming in the last 20 years.
The anti-fur movement is growing far beyond the list of individual brands that have made the switch to eco-fur, thanks to the British Fashion Council's decision to ban animal fur from every fashion show during London Fashion Week. The move, made in 2018, marked the BFC as the first major fashion council to ban animal fur entirely...
