FASHION ANIMALS by Joshua Katcher
FASHION ANIMALS by Joshua Katcher
Fashion Animals looks at how and why animals are exploited in the fashion industry, which has a hidden history of staggering, global impacts on animals and the environment, from extinctions to massive industrial confinement and killing.
Using fascinating, historical fashion images, a critical text based on thorough research and telling forgotten or hidden stories, this beautiful full-color book makes the case that it is not a matter of how animals are used in the fashion industry, it is a matter that they are used. It also celebrates visionary ideas and emerging innovations that will replace the use of animals altogether.

REVIEW:
Look around. Can you spot a single person near you that ISN'T wearing leather? Silk? Wool? All of these "fashion" choices are a clear expression of cruelty, fed by apathy and ignorance. In this wonderful book, the author skillfully explores the fashion industry, from ancient times to the present, and how it has been a driving force in deciding whether or not people continue to exploit animals in a most horrifying way to satisfy their fleeting perceptions of beauty and wealth.
