Prada Joins the Animal Welfare Movement and Goes Fur-Free

Although Tom Ford hasn't 100 percent banned the use of fur, the brand is on its way. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Tom Ford said, "I have started using much more fake fur. I'm not yet ready to say that I'm fur-free. Now, however, I have limited the fur in these collections and going forward to food byproducts, which does not sound very sexy. 'I'm selling you a food byproduct!' That means cowhide, it means shearling, it means not doing fur that is raised purely for its pelt. I have used a lot of fake fur this season."
