“America’s Next Top Model” Cycle 14–The Value Of Faux (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 26th, 2010 in Fashion, Models, Videos.
The gals from America’s Next Top Model Cycle 14 were recently taught a lesson on how to fake it.
To illustrate how buying knock off designs hurt the original designers, the models posed in everything fake–including fake fur.
According to the clip above, the fashion industry loses about about $9.2 billion dollars a year from counterfeit goods like the fake Prada bags the photographer pretending to be a salesman on the street was offering.
Of course, sometimes it’s good to be fake.
The costs of real fur?
According to Mercy for Animals, here is the bottom line.
“Of the 31 million animals killed on fur ranches each year, about twenty-six million are mink and 4.5 million are fox. In addition, 250,000 chinchillas, 150,000 sable, 100,000 fitch, 100,000 raccoon dogs (a separate species from the American raccoon), and a small number of lynx, bobcat, and nutria are fur farmed.”

The fashion industry isn’t losing as much as that number suggests since most people who buy fakes wouldn’t buy real bags/sunglasses/whatever. Plus the industry is soulless and deserves no money. They would sell human skin if they could get away with it! (And not to make a political statement).
