Many brands have already committed to banning animal fur in an effort to reach younger customers who are increasingly aware of ethical and environmental issues. These include Armani, Prada, Valentino, Versace and Moncler. “Dolce & Gabbana’s announcement of a departure from fur represents another important milestone in the fight against the cruel fur trade. It comes just a few weeks after Italy voted to ban fur farming, ”Clair Bass said on behalf of HSI.
