Cond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s decision to stop featuring animal fur in its publications came after a nine-month campaign by the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT). During this campaign, animal rights protestors picketed the houses of Vogue\u2019s editors and demonstrated outside events the magazine organized in London and New York…\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vogue magazine will no longer feature \u201cnew animal fur in editorial content or advertising,\u201d according to updated guidelines on the website of its parent company, Cond\u00e9 Nast.<\/em><\/p>\n

The guidelines \u2014 which allow for \u201cdefined exceptions, including byproducts of subsistence and indigenous practices\u201d \u2014 will also affect other titles owned by the media conglomerate, like The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and GQ.<\/em><\/p>\n

But it is in its implications for Vogue, long seen as the preeminent arbiter of fashion, that this change is the most profound, representing the shift away from fur within the industry.<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked about the change on its webpage, a spokesperson for Cond\u00e9 Nast told CNN that \u201cour values and fashion guidelines have reflected this for many years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Fur\u2019s popularity has been declining for years. Brands and retailers like Canada Goose, Gucci, Net-a-Porter, Versace, Prada, Neiman Marcus and Michael Kors have all announced their intention to phase out fur products since the 2010s.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fashion magazine Elle banned fur from all its international editions in December 2021 to support animal welfare and reflect changing tastes, it said at the time. Fur farming is banned in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Croatia, Italy and Norway, while in 2021, Israel became the first country to ban new fur sales…<\/em><\/p>\n

Cond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s decision to stop featuring animal fur in its publications came after a nine-month campaign by the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT).<\/em><\/p>\n

During this campaign, animal rights protestors picketed the houses of Vogue\u2019s editors and demonstrated outside events the magazine organized in London and New York. They also held protests inside stores affiliated with the magazine, including American Girl, a doll brand owned by Mattel, whose board includes Cond\u00e9 Nast CEO Roger Lynch.

CAFT announced Cond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s change in policy in a statement:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After a relentless nine-month campaign led by the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT), Cond\u00e9 Nast, parent company of Vogue Magazine, has announced it will no longer feature new animal fur in its global editorial content or advertising. Cond\u00e9 Nast updated its website to state: \u201cAcross our titles, we do not feature new animal fur in editorial content or advertising.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The decision follows months of sustained pressure by CAFT activists across the world, including disruptive demonstrations and residential picketing of Cond\u00e9 Nast executives. During the campaign activists staged over 100 protests, predominantly outside the homes of Cond\u00e9 Nast employees as well as the homes of the conglomerate\u2019s business affiliates, such as Mattel. Actions also reached retail spaces, with demonstrations inside the American Girl Doll store over its ties to Cond\u00e9 Nast. This announcement also comes on the heels of the arrest of a Deaf\/Disabled, activist, during a lawful protest outside a Teen Vogue employee\u2019s home.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnimals on fur farms are confined in filthy cages until they are killed by anal electrocution, gassing, or neck-breaking,\u201d said Suzie Stork, CAFT Executive Director. \u201cCond\u00e9 Nast\u2019s shift away from fur is a long overdue nod to the values of modern, ethical consumers who reject cruelty in fashion. But our work isn\u2019t finished, we are now focusing our full attention on Berluti and the other LVMH holdouts that continue to profit from the cruel fur trade.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This victory builds on CAFT\u2019s history of organizing bold grassroots pressure campaigns against some of the world\u2019s most powerful fashion corporations, including Marc Jacobs and Max Mara. <\/em>SUZIE STORK<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
