Her trousers are plastic (topshop last season) and the coat is fake (H&M) and she's gorgeous. Ridiculous, pointless article.

Animals are skinned alive for their fur because the fur comes off easier. Even if it is faux fur or not the trousers are leather and have came from a animal. A lot of people think leather is a by product but mostly it is animals that are bred specially. The soft leather comes from a male calf after being taken away from his mother only a day old and slaughtered.

I was unaware until yesterday that so called 'faux' fur can actually be from a dog or cat. I was a bit shocked to be honest as I am against animal cruelty.

If you look at H&M's policy in relation to the materials it uses, I think it's safe to say their faux fur isn't cat or dog ;o)

You can't provide links within the comment section. I tried and it gets removed. I can't see it online, but it is available in stores.

If you go to twitter, and search for H&M United Kingdom they have stated that it is theirs and faux fur.

Animals are used for lots of products, not just clothing. Cigarettes, Lipstick and nail polish, Flu Vaccine, Wine & Beers, Worcestershire sauce, Fabric softener, Sugar etc. Oh, and of course there's the Cochineal insect which is used to colour many food and drink products.

Its very very very rare that a designer labelled fur coat would ever be made by using wild animals, infact its more likely never. The quality of the fur just would not cut the mustard, they have to be pristine Think about it pristine fur means animal has to be pristine in condition. Animals are generally farmed. Britain has some of the most stringent legislations in regards to fur farming, but Peta and its brigade of merry followers have chased away all the British Farmers, these farms have now moved abroad where animals are kept under less stricter rulings. Way to go Peta!! Peta and its releasing of non wild animals was and is the single stupidest thing they could do. Not only does the animal not know how to survive but also minks nearly wiped out certain British species like the Shrew.
I see fur no different to leather products, the same with Sheepskin. I wonder how many wear a certain New Zealand boot.called UGGs!?

People need educating so that they can make up your own minds, not force fed lies on a flier by a group that's sole aim is to make everyone Vegetarian.

We would probably all be better off being vegetarian, heaven only knows what they are putting in our food! The recent horse meat scandal is a perfect example. UK labelling laws, useless!

PETA euthanise more animals than they save so forget them as pro animal. Regarding the people who let mink free from fur farms, thanks for contributing to the destruction of local flora and fauna. Man has eaten meat and worn animal fur since our time began and it will not change just because a very small minority don't like it!

Her Jacket and her trousers looked better on the animal they were ripped from - no matter what animal they came from!

I know 'style' can be pretentious, but you're allowed to say fake instead of faux..

I love the way everyone is so focused on the 'fur' coat, what about the 'leather' trousers and possibly the leather used to make the shoes?

For me it would depend on the fur actually used to make the jacket. If the fur is from a sustainable source, such as rabbit rather than a wild animal then I don't see what the problem is. We breed/farm rabbit specifically for its meat, largely to be used in cat and dog foods (so those who feed these to their pets should take a step straight off the soap box). It would be truly wasteful if the fur wasn't also used as well.

It's almost as though acceptability is based on the whether we recognize the animal via the colour of its fur rather the actual 'material' itself.

Funny how this 'no news' item can so easily make it onto the My Daily page due to the fur on show when no mention is ever made of the leather bags, coats, belts and shoes etc. worn daily by other celeb's. Somewhat of a double standard I think........ or perhaps its just a hurried and easy subject with an upcoming deadline?
