MILAN – Luxury fashion firm Valentino has confirmed that it will go fur-free by 2022, in a move hailed by animal rights group PETA.
The company joins the likes of Burberry, Gucci, Michael Kors and Macy’s in distancing itself from using such materials.
PETA executive vice president Tracy Reiman said: “Cheers went up at PETA HQ today at the news that even the fashion house that sewed mink fur on sneakers is changing with the times. At this rate, not a single designer will still be selling fur next year – and no wonder, since no kind shopper will buy it.”
