FASHION AGAINST FUR.





















A campaign against rabbit fur in the fashion industry.
The larger image is the final, I created this because I wanted people to see the horrid side of beautiful furs such as rabbit fur. I wanted the model beautiful, and for it to seem as we thought the blood, muscle and guts were too. The reaction to my work has been a mixture of views; some being distraught about the idea of using a real dead rabbit for the shoot. Please may I note, I bought the rabbit from the Butchers, it was already dead, already skinned, and cost me pretty much an arm and both my legs. I'm dramatising of course, however the intentions were good. Some people really like the dramatic statement and guts myself and the model, who happens to be my collaborative partner in design at the moment, had to actually do this.

Let me know of your thoughts.
