CNN: McCartney backs anti-fur fashion
The revival of fur on the catwalks for winter 2002 shows that animal rights activists are having
difficulty converting the fashion industry. They have a strong advocate in British designer Stella
McCartney: "Everything in [my] store and every single garment and accessories that you see is
cruelty free in the sense no animal has died to make anything in here." Karl Lagerfeld:
"It should be handled in the nicest way but as long as we eat meat and wear leather, I don't
even think there is a subject to discuss."
