Fashion Industry for Vegetarianism
Sir Paul McCartney's eldest daughter Mary understands why people wear fur. The 37-year-old photographer is a life-long vegetarian and animal rights campaigner, like her father, late mother Linda, and fashion designer sister Stella.
However, Mary can appreciate why people enjoy wearing animal pelts. She is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying: "I don't wear fur because I feel that it's completely unjustified and unnecessary, though I understand why people enjoy fur because it's beautiful, soft and the colours are amazing. I just can't justify it. I don't think something should be bred and killed for me to wear."
Mary recently photographed British singer Jamelia naked with a rabbit sitting on her butt for animal rights organisation PETA. Stella is also an ardent supporter of PETA and refuses to use fur or leather in her collections.
Their mother Linda - who died in 1998 after losing her battle with breast cancer - had her own range of vegetarian meals and taught her children to respect animals.
Mary added: "My mum and dad were vegetarians and we were all brought up to be aware of animals and the fact that they are lives in their own right. "So I've never thought of animals as something I would wear, something I can consume and eat."
Naomi Campbell says it is not fair to blame the fashion industry for the rise in anorexic teenagers.
The supermodel - who was named Best Model at the Elle Style Awards on Monday (12.02.07) - doesn't approve of the current trend for size zero models, and thinks the fashion industry is being unfairly made culpable.
Naomi said: "I don't believe in size zero. I'm a size that's right for me, I don't diet for this industry.
"Fashion is healthy, models are given healthy food backstage back at fashion shows.
"I don't think it is fair to blame the fashion industry for anorexia, when it's a psychological disease."
The size 0 debate has attracted comments from all over the fashion world. Legendary British model Twiggy recently condemned the trend.
The 'America's Next Top Model' judge became a catwalk icon in the 60s thanks to her waif-like figure, but is adamant the current raft of models are far too thin.
She said: "The fashion industry needs to be regulated to stop this dangerous size 0 trend.
"When you see a model with the lollipop look, where her head is too big for her body, it means she's dieting too much."
