TWIGGY FUMING OVER FUR IN FASHION
Former supermodel TWIGGY has slammed designers for using real fur during = London Fashion Week (begs19Feb10), branding it "intolerably cruel".
The 60 year old has posed for the People for the Ethical Treatment of A= nimals’ (PETA) new ad campaign, which features the slogan, "If You Wouldn= ‘t Wear Your Dog, Please Don’t Wear Any Fur." And she’s taking her new role seriously - she’s called for fashion desi= gners showing collections in the British capital not to include pelts, al= leging the fur is taken from animals kept in "inhumane" conditions.
She says, "I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur w= hen the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable. Thes= e poor animals are kept in such terrible and inhumane conditions. Is it r= eally worth this cruelty just for fashion’s sake? I don’t think so." Twiggy isn’t the only famous face rallying against animal cruelty in fa= shion - Sharon Osbourne is urging her fans to boycott a range of foxtail = handbag accessories designed by Louis Vuitton, branding the luxury goods = "heinous".
