A new step in favor of animal protection. Like many luxury brands, the Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana announced on Tuesday that it would in turn abandon the use of animal fur in all its collections this year. “Dolce & Gabbana is working towards a more sustainable future that cannot consider the use of animal fur,” said Fedele Usai, group marketing manager, quoted in a press release.
In order to “preserve the work and professionalism of the master furriers”, Dolce & Gabbana “will continue to collaborate with them” in order to create “clothing and accessories in ecological fur, using recycled and recyclable materials”.
Fur banned from the Kering group
In recent years, the major Italian houses Prada, Armani, Gucci, Versace, Furla and Valentino have banned animal fur from their collections. Moncler announced it in turn last Tuesday. French haute couture houses such as Chanel and Jean-Paul Gaultier, the British Burberry or the American brands Donna Karan, DKNY and Michael Kors have also turned away from fur.
The French group Kering led by François-Henri Pinault announced in September that all of its brands were now abandoning the use of fur. Recently brands like Armani, after abandoning fur, have announced that they will also abandon angora.
