Both Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo have joined the Humane Society International’s Fur Free Retailer Program.
Honorary chairman and chief creative officer Michael Kors said: “Due to technological advances in fabrications, we now have the ability to create a luxe aesthetic using non-animal fur.
Kitty Block, president of Humane Society International, added: ”Killing animals for fur is cruel and outdated, and so it’s hugely exciting to see forward-looking fashion designers such as Michael Kors take fur out of their collections.
“It’s clear that consumer demand for ethical fashion includes a strong desire for an end to fur, and so we are delighted to welcome Michael Kors as a fur-free leader in luxury fashion alongside the likes of Yoox Net-a-Porter, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney and Hugo Boss.
