Prada Joins the Animal Welfare Movement and Goes Fur-Free

One of the biggest names in fashion announced that it's going fur-free. The Prada Group stated that beginning SS20, its retailers will no longer use animal fur in new products or designs. The fashion house includes notable brands like Prada, Miu Miu, Church, and Car Shoe. "Focusing on innovative materials will allow the company to explore new boundaries of creative design while meeting the demand for ethical products," said Miuccia Prada, head designer of Prada. The Prada Group worked alongside the Fur Free Alliance and the Humane Society of the United States to reach this decision, which will hopefully prompt change throughout the rest of the industry.

"This global movement is gaining momentum fast," said Brigit Oele, program manager for Fur Free Alliance. And it has. In December 2017, Michael Kors announced that the fashion house would no longer use animal fur in any of its products. It followed in the footsteps of other luxury retailers that have gone fur-free. Read on to see which major fashion houses have banned the use of fur, as we hope this list continues to grow in 2019.

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
