Following the unfortunate trend of certain celebrity designers toward caveman-esque garments, Kanye West’s new fur-and-leather-saturated fashion line, which includes bizarre and barbaric items such as a fur backpack and python pants, is not only at odds with the seasons, it’s completely out of touch with the greater movement toward compassionate fashion.  Like Fendi, whose outmoded shows feature dead animals, Kanye West is banking on selling suffering to suckers.

What about self-proclaimed animal lovers who adore their pets yet wear leather boots, fur coats, and feather hair extensions? — Global Animal
