VIVIENNE WESTWOOD GOES FUR-FREE

Fashion icon DAME VIVIENNE WESTWOOD has followed in the footsteps of designer STELLA MCCARTNEY - by vowing to never to use fur. The British designer has banned fur from her lines after meeting with representatives of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Europe (PETA). A spokesman for Westwood says, "We have not used fur of any kind in next season's collection, and have no plans to use it in the future." MCCartney, the daughter of Beatles legend Sir Paul, made the same pledge to PETA.
