The Australian Fashion Week (AfW) prohibits all the materials obtained from wild animals, including furs, exotic animal skins and feathers, as the World Animal Protection Organization announced on Tuesday. The new guideline developed by the Australian Fashion Council in collaboration with Collective Fashion Justice comes into force with immediate effect. This means that the ongoing AfW, which takes place from May 12th to 16th, is the first edition that does without wild animals on its catwalks.
The AfW brings the decision into line with a growing number of global and national fashion events that introduce animal -free guidelines. Similar measures have already been implemented at Melbourne Fashion Week, the Melbourne Fashion Festival and on international fashion weeks in Berlin, Copenhagen and London.
“This recent announcement is a memory that the fashion industry can be a positive force for wild animals and that the life of crocodiles, ostriches, murmurs and other animals can change,” said Suzanne Milthorpe, Head: In the campaign at World Animal Protection Australia. “We are experiencing a domino effect in which fashion events in Australia and all over the world reject exotic skins, feathers and fur. With this new, animal -friendly guideline, the Australian Fashion Week is part of the growing list of catwalks that welcome innovative, non -animal -free alternatives.”
