Oslo Fashion Week says no to fur

Of all the countries on the face of earth who would have thought Norway would be the first one to ban fur from its catwalks? Thank to the work of Mote Mot Pels (Fashion Against Fur), an organization endorsed by more than 220 Norwegian fashion industry insiders, cool Norwegian designers are now refusing to work with fur. Oslo Fashion Week is one step closer to be cooler than ever.

Mote Mot Pels was funded by the designers Farm Irvoll and Kjell Nordström along with fashion editor Hilde Marstrander in collaboration with the animal-rights group NOAH.

Shame for Denmark, who instead is still endorsing the exploitation of animals at the Copenhagen Fashion Week, considering death, suffering and torture part of the fashion process.
