Collective Fashion Justice’s Post

We are so pleased to share that London Fashion Week has banned wild animal skins, after engaging with us and World Animal Protection UK. Announced by the British Fashion Council at a U.K. Parliament event this week, the organisation highlighted the value of ‘constructive challenges’ by organisations like Collective Fashion Justice. Our founding director Emma Hakansson who helped write the policy, said: “LFW is the first big four fashion event to prohibit both fur and wild animal skins, and we celebrate this important progress. We also know there is more to do, continuing the conversation on feathers towards what we hope will be a totally wildlife-free policy.” “For decades, brands have banned fur, stating an opposition to killing animals specifically for fashion. This is exactly what happens to the crocodiles, snakes, ostriches and other wild animals skinned and plucked for fashion too, making bans on these skins and feathers consistent with an existing and widely agreed upon ethical premise.” Thank you to the British Fashion Council!
