Giorgio Armani is really in the doghouse with PETA now
Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Style for a Cause
As a high-profile clothing designer, you know that PETA's going to come at you with all they've got if you like to showcase fur in your collections, whether or not you've given any indication that you support animal rights. But, if you really want to make PETA angry, do what Giorgio Armani did. After reporting that PETA had convinced him to drop fur from his collections in an interview with Time last year -- he apparently had a little change of heart.Instead of ditching fur in his designs, his fall lineup is covered up with the stuff. Chock full of fur coats, fur-hemmed skirts, and even fur coats for children (an unforgivable sin in the eyes of fur-haters) -- it's almost like Giorgio's latest designs were meant to publicly snub PETA . Ouch!
Now, according to the NYP, hardcore PETA groupies like Pamela Anderson are planning a serious counterattack against the perceived betrayal. Word has it that PETA devotees will put celebs that attend Armani shows "in the hot seat" as part of an attempt shun the superstar designer and his fur-loving fashions.
