It’s been a WWF smack-down between Italian designer, Girogio Armani, and animal rights organization, PETA, ever since Armani’s Fall 2008 collection hit the runway. According to the New York Post, Armani “promised” PETA that he would not include animal skins or furs in his collection. Needless to say, Mr. Armani broke that promise…and how!
Not only did models strut the runway decked out in fur-trimmed coats and skirts, they also flaunted full out floral printed fur coats! And to make matters between Armani and PETA worse, the designer got the kids involved. Yes indeed, Armani even designed fur coats for babies! Forget the pea-pod parkas for the baby…now there is mink in store for the little stink!
Tomorrow night at PETA’s benefit in Italy, model and actress Pamela Anderson will try her persuasive attempts to deter colleagues from wearing Armani during awards season. Sorry folks, but I don’t think Ms. Anderson can compete with Giorgio Armani’s killer (literally?) Fall 2008 collection.
Dior, Not War.
