It seems as though Donatella Versace has been having some serious heart-to-hearts with her beloved dog, Audrey, lately. In an interview with Luke Leitch for The Economist's 1843 magazine, the designer stated that she would no longer use real animal fur in any of her designs. “Fur? I’m out of that,” she said. “I don’t want to kill animals to make fashion. It doesn’t feel right.” Even though other labels have made anti-fur statements recently, including Gucci, Tom Ford, Givenchy, and Michael Kors, it’s a pretty bold move coming from a fashion house that has largely avoided the issue until now. After all, Versace is steeped in glamour and excess, and what is more of a symbol of that rich glitz than a fluffed-up mink coat?

That being said, as a designer, Donatella has moved toward a more politically driven, socially conscious agenda in the past few seasons, especially with her Spring 2018 clothes, which were printed with such words as unity, loyalty, courage, and love. And how fantastic would those looks be with a medusa-clad faux fur bomber jacket?
