Versace Goes Fur Free<\/strong>
\nWho says you can\u2019t stunt responsibly? In an effort to be more sustainable, Donatella Versace has eliminated animal fur from all future collections for the Milanese brand. \u201cFur? I am out of that. I don\u2019t want to kill animals to make fashion. It doesn\u2019t feel right,\u201d the designer declared this week. The luxury label known for its maximalist aesthetic, started by brother Gianni Versace, joins brands like Giorgio Armani, Gucci, and Michael Kors that have all eliminated the material from their collections.
