Animals Position on fur
In 2018 Tom Ford announced he went vegan about a year earlier, and has re-evaluated his position on using fur in fashion. "I have started using much more fake fur. I'm not yet ready to say that I’m fur-free. Now, however, I have limited the fur in these collections and going forward to food by-products, which does not sound sexy". Ford is making a conscious attempt to opt for food by-product fur in his collections, so that any real fur used comes from animals bred for their meat rather than their pelts.
