Tommy Hilfiger To Go Fur-Free

  • Stella McCartney states: "I totally disagree with any electrocuted animals on people's backs," Britain's Stella McCartney told reporters after her fur-free ready-to-wear show on Thursday, in which she presented floating woollen cardigans and cashmere tops. Her collection of knitted overalls and big-hooded anoraks worn with mini skirts struck a contrast to the range of fur-collared coats Lacroix and Valentino presented on Wednesday. A naked protester jumped onto Lacroix's catwalk, showing her back with the crossed out word "fur" on it to photographers before being dragged away by security guards. Protesters had also tried to interrupt Valentino's show earlier. McCartney, the daughter of former Beatle Paul, said there were enough alternatives to fur.

Stella McCartney: She says, "In many ways, this industry is truly ugly and deeply shallow. Don't get me wrong: I'm no angel, but I do always try to ensure that anything I put my name to is carried out with an ethical awareness.

"And I'm proud to be able to say with 100 per cent that not one single animal product is used to create any one of my designs."

-"Her late mother the Lovely Linda was an ardent supporter of animal rights."-
