MILAN (Reuters) - Italian luxury group Dolce&Gabbana will stop using fur in all its collections from this year, the fashion brand said on Monday in a joint statement with animal rights association Humane Society International.
"The entire fashion system has a significant social responsibility role that must be promoted and encouraged," said the group's communication and marketing officer, Fedele Usai.
The label will switch to eco-fur garments and accessories, while continuing to collaborate with master furriers to preserve jobs and know-how.
In a push to appeal to younger customers, increasingly sensitive to ethical and environmental issues, many brands have already committed to banning animal fur including Armani, Kering (PA:PRTP), Prada (OTC:PRDSY), Valentino, Versace, Moncler and luxury e-commerce platform Yoox (MI:YNAP) Net-a-Porter.
