The battle over fur has spread to fashion-conscious Hollywood, and the fur fighters seem to be losing.
Pink took a swipe at Beyonce’s fur jacket when the two appeared together in London on Monday for the premiere of their Super Bowl Pepsi commercial with Britney Spears.
“It’s something I wouldn’t wear, but each to their own,” Pink told the Sun tabloid there. “I’ve not said anything, but I think everyone knows my views. I won’t ever touch fur; it’s wrong.”
Meanwhile, at the Sundance Film Festival, Paris Hilton posed in an anti-hunt sweat shirt that said “Club Sandwiches, Not Seals” and signed a protest letter to the Canadian Embassy.
They seem to be singing alone, though.
Mary J. Blige and Eva Mendes have joined the fur-wearing crowd, and a host of former spokesmodels for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer) have turned on their heels and strutted in more than one skin since.
In the other chromosome camp, trendsetter P. Diddy and actor Vin Diesel, who wore fur in the movie “XXX,” are opening urban men’s minds to fur, said Keith Kaplan, executive director of the Fur Information Council. As of this year’s research, he said, men are only 5 percent of the fur market.
