Save the bunnies! After recent videos surfaced of workers abusing angora bunnies by plucking them alive, retailers and brands including H&M, ASOS, and Ted Baker have pledged to stop production of angora products until they can thoroughly investigate—and get an all-clear—on their sourcing. "ASOS firmly believes it is not acceptable for animals to suffer in the name of fashion or cosmetics," said an ASOS spokesperson. "ASOS is a member of the Fur Free Alliance of retailers and recognises that the sourcing of angora and other rabbit hair products causes distress to animals. As such, we will remove all Asos and third party branded product that fails to meet the policy and no new orders will be raised containing angora or other rabbit hair." [Drapers]

Can Playboy and fashion ever really work together? With the recent Kate Moss cover for Playboy, other models (like Alessandra Ambrosio) have also come out saying they'd pose for the men's magazine. The Guardian's Hadley Freeman has something to say about that. And that something is this:
It is well past time to call bullshit on this alliance between fashion and Playboy. If women want to make their careers out of glamour modelling, good luck to them, but to suggest that Playboy itself is somehow chic, that to ally oneself with that dud Viagra pill of a magazine is excitingly racy and that women who have achieved enormous success and fame in their fields are proving their self-worth and sexiness by posing for it is just demented.Fashion, as this column often chinstrokes, should be - and is, in its purest form - about giving people pleasure and self-expression. But too often, the women's fashion industry seems hellbent on reducing women to tired stereotypes, miserable clones and sexless sex objects.
