Fur-trimmed jackets

What have been your efforts to further the cause both in your daily personal life and to make others aware?
For starters, I never eat meat. And I don’t buy leather shoes or fur-trimmed jackets or buy lipstick that was tested by blinding rabbits. It’s not hard, it just means being aware of what I’m buying and supporting, learning which cosmetics brands are cruelty-free, and reading labels to find leather – not leather – boots and bags. I really believe in teaching by example: If others can look at me and see how easy it is to take simple steps to reduce suffering, they’ll be inspired to make kind choices too.

How is it possible for you to make a style statement without contributing to animal ill treatment?
My friend Stella McCartney doesn’t use a stitch of fur, leather, or merino wool in her designs. That’s the trend: The most innovative designers are refusing to work with animal skins, and they’re proving that it’s easy to create a look that kills without killing animals.
