Why are models dressed like animals?

June 26, 2021 10:53 IST

Designer Stella McCartney found an interesting way to launch her sustainable luxury fashion collection.

Stella staged a protest outside Milan's Duomo di Milano cathedral to spread the message that animals are our equals.

To showcase her vision of a cruelty-free society, she got models to pose as animals while being dressed in looks from her Autumn 2021 collection.
