Giorgio Armani has reneged on his promise not to use fur in his fashion lines. Activists demonstrated outside Armani's Manchester store yesterday, causing three members of staff to abandon their quest for sales and stand in the doorway defending, with some difficulty, the Armani position on fur.
'I don't think about the fate of the animals because Armani pays me not to' was the main thrust of the argument, along with the old fallacy that 'it's the consumer who creates the demand for products,' although this particular Armani worker then went on to describe how her job was to convince customers that they 'need' Armani fashion items. There was also the usual defeatist 'we're so small and insignificant that nothing we (or you) can do as individuals could possibly affect Armani's decisions.'
We'll see.
We'll see.
