The fur has been back in the spotlight since luxury brand Fendi embraced an all-fur collection at Paris Fashion Week 2015. A move that even brand executives declined to comment on, perhaps wary of the controversy it would cause. 。
Calling on powerhouse labels to take a lead on industry and cultural change alike, Wilson "We have to decide what's not cool anymore ... As creatives we need to start saying no to things like fur." 。
