Fashion house Maison Margiela<\/strong> reinforces its commitment to ethical fashion by discontinuing the use of angora wool in its collections. Six years after banning fur, this decision marks a new step towards animal-friendly fashion. This initiative was prompted by a request from PETA, an animal welfare organization. <\/p>\n\n

A controversial material<\/h2>\n\n

PETA<\/strong> announced the news on its official website, praising Maison Margiela’s commitment. According to PETA, angora comes from an industry that causes extreme suffering to animals, particularly rabbits, whose hair is plucked, causing fear and pain. James Fraser, PETA France representative, said the decision reflects the changing expectations of consumers, who are increasingly rejecting materials derived from cruel practices. <\/p>\n\n

A global movement<\/h2>\n\n

In renouncing angora, Maison Margiela joins a large group of luxury brands committed to the same approach. Among them, names such as Armani, Valentino, Gucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Farfetch, Tommy Hilfiger<\/strong> and Stella McCartney<\/strong> have already taken similar steps. This trend shows the growing influence of animal rights associations on the fashion industry. <\/p>\n\n
