STYLE DRAMA

The bearskin hats worn by the guards at Buckingham Palace  are the  subject of PETA criticism these days, with an unknown number of activists protesting, even outside the palace.

And when the animal rights group met with the Ministry of Defense to discuss ideas for replacing the iconic hats, the names of Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood came to the forefront. They will design a new, ethically-friendly alternative to that bearskin hats.

“Most people think it’s fake fur and when they find out it’s real and it takes one bear to make a hat, they are appalled,” Robbie LeBlanc, PETA’s director for Europe, told the BBC.
