"For decades, animal rights activists, campaigners and ethical designers have
fought to strip fur fashion of its glamour and expose the cruelty behind it.
From bold celebrity-led protests to quiet shifts in consumer values, these
efforts have slowly reshaped the fashion landscape.
Now, one of the industry’s most influential gatekeepers, Condé Nast – publisher
of
Vogue,
Vanity Fair and
Glamour – has announced it will no longer
feature “new animal fur in editorial content or advertising” across its titles.
The decision, which includes exceptions for what are outlined as “byproducts of
subsistence and Indigenous practices”, marks a symbolic turning point within
the fashion media landscape due to Condé Nast’s global reach.
It is especially significant given
Vogue’s legacy in glamorising fur and its
historically unwavering support under former editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, one
of fur’s most powerful advocates in fashion media and a long-time target of the
anti-fur movement.
Wintour remains involved at Condé Nast in the role of chief content officer,
and as
Vogue’s global editorial director."
