Tim Gunn! Tim Gunn! December 21, 2008
Posted by Patricia at December 21, 2008 6:15 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 9 ) | TrackBackHow 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!).

fur Investigation rabbits Giorgio Armani
We have a disturbing new undercover expose of rabbit fur farms from China and France. If you are against cruelty to animals, please sign our petition encouraging designer Giorgio Armani to permanently remove fur from all his collections. And then spread the word to everyone you know.
In the video footage, workers pull rabbits out of cages by their ears and shoot the screaming animals in the head with captive-bolt guns, often multiple times. Rabbits with slit throats can be seen twitching and shaking, with their eyes wide open, before they die. You can also see and hear rabbits kicking and screaming during slaughter. After the skin is ripped from the rabbits' bodies, it is sold to designers such as Giorgio Armani—who uses rabbit fur in his new designs.
Please contact Giorgio Armani and urge him to keep the promise that he made by permanently removing all fur from his collections.
Also, leave a comment below with one thing you are doing to spread the word about this video (blog, IM, bulletin, email, showing a family member, etc).
Thanks.
