Stella McCartney: No Love for Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton or Kate Moss!

November 27th, 2006

One of the fashion industry’s top designers, Stella McCartney, has criticized not only her fellow designers but high profiled celebrities as well for their use of fur. The daughter of legendary Beatles member Paul McCartney, Stella wants the trend to end.
Sales of real fur have spiked 30 percent in Britain over the past two years and worldwide sales have hit $13.5 billion.
With runways still being filled with animal pelts by top designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier, Julien Macdonald and Alexander McQueen the style has enjoyed a resurgence despite recent campaigns against the fashion.
McCartney, 35, was said to have told a newspaper “There’s nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.”
Among the people on that list are some of the top celebrities in the world. Both Nicole Richie and Kate Moss have recently been seen in real fur while silver screen starlet Keira Knightley, hotel heiress Paris Hilton and party-girl Lindsay Lohan have all donned real fur as well.
