Winds of change are blowing in the fashion industry. Last Sunday the firm led by designer Michael Kors announced that it will not use animal skins in its designs again, thus joining other brands such as Gucci that committed to this cause two months ago, or Stella McCartney, who was the pioneer in do not use this material.

It is undeniable that more and more brands are concerned with reducing their impact on the environment and helping to make the system a little more sustainable. And is that fashion is the most polluting industry in the world after oil. So if you are concerned about the environment and you are a fan of this brand, now you can buy their bags, shoes and accessories without any conscience charge.

Best of all, the decision, which will take effect in early 2018, affects the entire company and that also includes the Jimmy Choo brand that Kors acquired last summer.

"Due to technological advances in fabric manufacturing] we can now create luxurious aesthetics using synthetic leather," says designer Michael Kors in a statement published by the fashion website Business of Fashion. "We will showcase these new technologies at our next show in February."

Despite these initiatives, much remains to be done. According to statements by a spokesperson for the Fur Information Council of America published by the same media, almost 70 percent of designers included furs in their collections this fall.

In any case, those of Michael Kors, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger are good examples to follow that are sure to have a great impact on the fashion business. Let the changes continue!
