Norway First Ever Country to Ban Fur at Fashion Week

Dec 30, 2010 - by Josh Linam

Norway is making history by banning fur from its Oslo Fashion Week. (The first ever country to take such a stand.)

More than 200 fashion leaders in Norway are rallying behind the cause. Save the critters!

Oslo Fashion Week in Norway will look a little different this February. Men and women will be unashamedly fur-less.

Forest creatures and animal lovers can thank a group called Mote Mot Pels (Fashion Against Fur) for the pelt prohibition. The fur-loving group won the support of fashion giants like Norwegian Elle, Norwegian Cosmopolitan and designers Leila Hafzi and Thomas Ryen to cap their victory.

Well done, Norway. You're like the Ace Ventura of world countries.
