The New York Post reports that Project Runway Style Guru Tim Gunn is getting into it with some designers over their use of fur.
In conjunction with PETA, Gunn, now the chief creative officer for Liz Claiborne, has fired off videotaped personal pleas to Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan urging them to stop using rabbit fur from China, a place with no animal rights laws.
On the video is gruesome footage of rabbits being skinned alive and foxes getting electrocuted. Way to make your point Tim!
Armani and Karan were singled out, according to PETA, because they both made pledges to be fur-free, but have gone back on their word.
PETA has even gone so far as to launch a web site, DonnaKaranBunnyButcher.com where viewers can watch such videos as "Have You Ever Heard a Bunny Scream?" Wow, and just in time for the holidays.
Needlesstosay, I won’t be logging on to that one anytime soon. Personally, I would never wear fur, but I am guilty of wearing leather shoes …
