How awesome is it that Tim Gunn narrated peta2's new fashion industry exposé?! Who better to tell designers and shoppers what happens to animals before they become coats, sweaters, cuffs, shoes, bags, and the like.
What's even cooler though is that Gunn sent the video to Donna Karan and Giorgio Armani with a personal plea to both designers to stop using fur in their lines. Take that fur pimps!
Says Gunn, "Any designer in the fashion industry who does not want to watch the PETA video and see exactly what happens to animals and how they're treated and how the product that they use comes to the marketplace I believe is egregiously irresponsible. It is critically important that we all be educated about these matters and then make choices. It is egregiously irresponsible not to."
Oh, Tim Gunn, you're so wonderful. He had some other great things to say about Project Runway and fur so check out this fab interview (my favorite part is the very end!).
