Armani<\/strong> will no longer use angora wool, which comes from the fur of the rabbits of the same name, starting with the fall-winter 2022\/2023 collections. The Italian fashion house is thus extending the list of materials it will no longer use as part of its policy for animal welfare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The designer Giorgio Armani<\/strong> said he was pleased with this decision, a sign of the brand’s commitment to “the protection of nature<\/em>“. At Armani, “the percentage of clothing containing angora wool is very low,<\/em>” confirmed a spokeswoman for the group, assuring that the brand will meet “the highest standards of animal welfare.<\/em>”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The group is following in the footsteps of major groups that have already begun this shift towards animal welfare, such as Gucci<\/strong> or Burberry<\/strong>. As early as 2013, the animal rights group Peta<\/strong> had called for a boycott of products made from Angora rabbit fur. The organization accused, with video support, Chinese farms of plucking the hair from live animals. According to Peta, 90% of the world’s angora fur comes from China. Giorgio Armani had announced back in 2016 to renounce all forms of animal fur in its collections, in favor of more animal-friendly alternatives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Armani Group announces its commitment to no longer use angora wool across all lines from the Fall Winter 2022\/2023 season onwards, adding it to the list of excluded materials within its fur-free policy.<\/p>\n \u2014 Armani (@armani) December 1, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
