STYLE DRAMA

Another fur scandal can be seen here.

Gwyneth Paltrow has angered PETA, by wearing fur in a new advertising campaign for luxury Italian fashion label Tod’s. The campaign, which was shot in Capri by Mario Testino, features the 35-year-old actress in fox fur and wearing fur-lined boots.

Animal right activists have already aired their reaction by calling her stupid,  and said that Gwyneth should be ashamed.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a close friend of Stella McCartney, the designer who is a strong supporter of PETA. Will their friendship end?

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.
