Here’s to ethical fashion!

Fashion designer Victoria Beckham has become the latest celebrity to promise to not use exotic animal skins and furs in her fashion line. Victoria’s move has been welcomed by animal rights activists. It comes in the backdrop of several brands including Chanel and Vivienne Westwood deciding to shun products made from animals, CNN reported.

Although, the singer’s fashion line never used animal fur, her latest commitment meant that clothing and accessories made from snake, lizard, tiger and alligator skins will be stopped from this year itself.

“Victoria Beckham will cease the use of exotic skins in all collections as of AW19. The Victoria Beckham brand has never used fur in its clothing or accessories collections and confirmed last year that the brand will remain fur-free,” Beckham’s brand told the media. Her pledge was commended by PETA, the animal rights group, who have extensively campaigned against the use of animal skins in the fashion industry.

“Victoria Beckham’s decision to ban exotic skins will spare countless remarkable animals immense suffering, and PETA UK calls on other luxury brands to follow her kind example,” she added.

Behind every crocodile, alligator, snake, or lizard handbag or a pair of shoes is a violent death.
