Stella McCartney is a label that's at the forefront of the cruelty-free fashion movement, as it has introduced vegan-friendly dresses made from synthetic spider silk, handbags made of mushroom-based leather alternative and now, fur-free fashion pieces in the newest Stella McCartney collection.
Some of the statement-making new "fur-free fur" pieces that can be found in the designer collection include the dark brown 100% acrylic Sugar Cane Coat and the oversized Champagne Waistcoat.
With these cruelty-free fashion pieces, Stella McCartney is working towards supporting a totally fur-free Britain in the hopes that a ban will be implemented. As part of a move towards a world that champions sustainable, ethical and cruelty-free fashion, some high-end designer brands and runways have now banned the use of fur and some have even gone as far as to reject leather.
