Milan-based Prada Group announced today (May 22, 2019) that Prada and Miu Miu will cease making use of fur in clothing and accessories starting with spring 2020 offerings.

The announcement was made in partnership with the Fur Free Alliance, a group of 40 animal-protection organizations from 30-plus countries, which had targeted Prada in fall 2018 with an email and phone campaign in an effort to pressure to the brand to go fur free.

In a press release, Prada creative director Miuccia Prada stated, “The Prada Group is committed to innovation and social responsibility, and our fur-free policy, reached following a positive dialogue with the Fur Free Alliance, in particular with LAV and the Humane Society of the United States, is an extension of that engagement. Focusing on innovative materials will allow the company to explore new boundaries of creative design while meeting the demand for ethical products.”

With this new mandate, Prada and Miu Miu join a club of fur-free brands including Gucci, Burberry, Versace, Michael Kors, and Jimmy Choo.
While multiple labels have joined the cause, it’s been pointed out by some environmental activists that faux fur comes with its own set of problematic issues.

It will be interesting to see how true Prada label lovers will respond to this change. One has to assume the change will help drive up the price for vintage Prada fur pieces.

Givenchy reative director Matthew M. Williams will Givenchy reative director Matthew M. Williams will step down from the role following a three-year stint with the LVMH-owned label. Williams will present his final collection with a men's and women's pre-fall 2024 collection, to be unveiled in the coming days. 

Leading the creative direction of Givenchy was, as I said upon my arrival in 2020, the dream of a lifetime,” Williams said in the statement. “Over these three years, I have strived to perpetuate Mr. Hubert de Givenchy’s legacy while bringing my own creative vision and I would like to sincerely thank the studio, Renaud de Lesquen and LVMH for this incredible opportunity.”

While Williams was credited with the buzzworthy Shark boot and Voyou handbag, he was often derided by the online fashion community for falling short of achieiving the same level of buzz and cool when the label was under Riccardo Tisci's creative direction from 2005 to 2017.

Williams will continue to head creative direction for his own label, 1017 Alyx 9SM, which recently announced plans to ramp up production and expand door count through a parntership with Adrian Cheng, a Hong Kong entrepreneur.
