The dark side of feathers in fashion
Feathers in fashion are often seen as symbols of elegance and luxury, but the real cost behind them is hidden from the runway.
World Animal Protection UK
London Fashion Week is globally recognised for setting fashion trends, but behind the scenes, wild animals are suffering. While the ban on fur and skins was a critical step forward, other wild animals continue to be exploited forthe sake of fashion. It's time to take the next step.
Wild animals face tremendous suffering when bred or captured. From harsh conditions on farms to the cruel extraction of feathers from birds, the impact on wildlife is severe.
London Fashion Week is a platform for the world’s top designers and fashion houses. If it adopts a wildlife-free policy, it could help shift the entire fashion industry toward more humane practices.
The fashion industry doesn’t need to rely on wild animal products to create amazing designs. Innovative alternatives, from lab-grown leather to plant-based fabrics like Pinatex, prove that fashion can thrive without harming animals.
As consumers, we have the power to drive change. By supporting brands committed to animal welfare and sustainable practices, we can demand that wildlife exploitation becomes a thing of the past. Every purchase and every signature counts.
Feathers in fashion are often seen as symbols of elegance and luxury, but the real cost behind them is hidden from the runway.
Fashion has always been a platform for self-expression and a form of art, but it’s time to rethink the impact of our choices.
There are some innovative alternatives out there that have true potential to leave wildlife out of our wardrobes.
We campaign to improve the lives of animals in the UK and around the world. Why not join us today?
