# High Fashion Fur French Vogue August Issue Will Anger PETA By mediterranean | Published 2008-07-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-vogue-aug-08 References: [stylefrizz](http://stylefrizz.com/200807/daria-werbowy-vogue-paris-august-2008/) After a one month hiatus, Vogue Paris is coming back with a vengeance for its August 2008 issue. Model Daria Werbowy is featured on the cover as well as in a beautiful, retro black and white spread. It's very amusing to me that the summer time issue features Daria wearing a fur coat. Ah, well. It's the French! In fact, all nine images of Daria show her wearing some kind of fur accessory. I guess [French Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-onion-crackers) is sending an 'f you' message to [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-pancake-slam). The retro photographs were shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Black and White photoshoots are all the rage in August, see V Magazine's own B&W Naomi spread: ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Fashion:** The use of fur in high fashion may lead to a rise in demand for sustainable fashion alternatives. - **Animal-free Fashion:** The controversy surrounding fur in the fashion industry highlights the potential for an increase in animal-free fashion options. - **Ethical Consumerism:** Consumers' concern for animal welfare may drive the growth of ethical fashion brands and products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can capitalize on the demand for sustainable and animal-free fashion by offering a wide range of options to their customers. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can explore innovative, cruelty-free materials to meet the growing demand for ethical fashion in the market. - **Animal Rights Organizations:** Animal rights organizations can leverage the public's concern for animal welfare by partnering with fashion brands to promote animal-free fashion and push for more ethical industry practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Realistic Faux Fur Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Animal Welfare Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-mara-fashion-group.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md)
