The Australian Fashion Council has officially banned the use of fur, wild-washed skins and wild wings from the Australian Fashion Week (AFW) Catwalk. Immediately effective, the new policy ensures that the 2025 version of AFW will be completely free from wildlife exploitation.
Australian Fashion Week has banned fur, wild skins and wings from its catwalk to the 2025 edition wild-free. The policy developed with collective fashion justice and world animal protection is a major victory for moral fashion. This decision reflects the growing public demand for cruelty-free, sustainable options.
The policy has been developed in collaboration with collective fashion justice and world animal protection. With this policy, crocodiles, foxes and foreign birds will be preserved, ensuring that they are no longer used in the fashion display in the event.
This decision reflects the increasing public demand for moral and sustainable fashion. It is a win that is run by thousands of kind Australians, who believe that fashion should never come at the cost of animal life, according to world animal protection.
The move is based on the same wildlife-free commitments received in Melbourne Fashion Week, Melbourne Fashion Festival and International Runway at Berlin and Copenhagen.
“This latest declaration is a reminder that the fashion industry can be a positive power or wildlife, and can change the life of crocodiles, ostrich, mink and more. We are looking at a domino effect of fashion events around Australia and the world and to release the world, to detain this new wildlife policy, to custody this new wildlife policy. Suzanne Milthorpe, head of the campaign in World Animal Protection Australia.
Animal rights organizations including PETA have launched a long campaign for this change.
