Jean-Paul Gaultier has decided to abolish the use of animal fur in its collections terming the way in which animals are killed for their fur as absolutely deplorable The news was welcomed by the animal rights organisation PETA whose members had been lobbying Gaultier to give up the use of fur for years.
Fur has become the major point of focus for the fashion industry over the year 2018, with multiple luxury labels denouncing the use of the material. The US heritage label Coach announced its decision to stop using fur last month, preceded by designers including Diane Von Furstenberg, Burberry, John Galliano, DKNY and Donna Karen. Several other labels have also been fur-free for some time now, including Stella McCartney, Armani and Hugo Boss.
