With eco-fashion trending so quickly into people’s wardrobes, Fur Fashion Week looks like a controversy to be sure. This year’s Fur Fashion Week, organized by FICA (Fur Information Council of America) will take place over the next two days, May 13 – 14, at which time, there will be 17 presentations, including those by Michael Kors, Bill Blass, Ralph Rucci, Isaac Mizrahi, Peter Som, Zandra Rhodes, Zac Posen, Angel Sanchez, Carmen Mark Valvo, and Kati Stern for Venexiana. We don’t know whether it will draw the attention of PETA and eco fashion defenders, but many designers used fur in their Fall/Winter 2008 collections. That makes a difference.

I think that it is terrible to sell furs. The poor animals are tortured. People that buy and wear furs suck. These designers are a disgrace.

Sounds like we’ve heard from the petaphile.
No matter how hard you try, you will find yourself using animal products in some aspect of your life. Do a little research and you’ll find out just how much you depend on animal products to get you through the day, even if you believe you live a pristine vegan lifestyle.
Surprise, you’re just a “guilty” as the rest of us.
So unless you enjoy being a complete hypocrite, stop with the self righteous preaching and educate yourself.
