Today, The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization protested against designer Giorgio Armani in Milan.
They staged a protest in front of the flagship Emporio Armani store in the Milan center with posters, which showed to the designer as Pinocchio, with a long nose. They accuse the designer of continuing to use animal fur, in spite of his promise to stop using fur in his collections.
“Giorgio Armani has not kept his word: a year ago he said he would not use fur any more, and instead in the new autumn collection there are jackets and skirts decorated with fur and even snow suits for children with real fur inserts”, PETA vice president Dan Mathews said.
The organization called for a boycott of Armani products. “We’re asking a lot from people: to change what they eat and wear. If our cause is supported by famous people the message arrives sooner”, Mathews explained. PETA already wrote some letters to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Meanwhile, Pamela Anderson was asked by PETA to try to convince the actress Cate Blanchett to use her influence with Giorgio Armani to end this practice.
