10 Animal Compassionate Fashion Designers
According to Cry of the Innocent, “Every year there are over 50 million animals killed just for fashion.” Animals should never have to suffer for our fashion statements and you should never have to sacrifice your unique style and fun trends. Thankfully, you don't have to! There many amazing and often affordable humane fashion options that are becoming easily accessible. Did you know that faux leathers and other animal-free products are more environmentally sustainable than the alternative? The process of manufacturing real leathers and furs is impractical, expensive and extremely violent and inhumane.
