Bob Barker On Fashion–Fur And Leather Never In Season
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 10th, 2010 in Fashion, Fur, TV Hosts.
When it comes to fashion, Bob Barker knows what’s in style and it’s not fur.
During an interview with Stylist, the vegetarian and animal rights activist explained how his wife got him on the right track to what’s trendy.
“My wife stopped wearing fur 35 years ago, and she wasn’t trying to influence me, but by example she did. I had several leather jackets and coats with sheepskin that I gave away. I stopped wearing leather belts and then stopped wearing leather completely. And this was all before I became a vegetarian about 32 or 33 years ago.”
And while animal hides are the absolute worst fashion trend there is, Barker says other fashions he sees men and women wearing come to a pretty close tie.
“The thing that is most startling is these young people with their pants down so low. I don’t know how they keep them up unless they are pinned. And young ladies with their blue jeans almost slipping off and their shirts clear under their armpits. I don’t think it’s at all attractive.”
Although he rarely wears them, thanks to his vegetarian diet, Barker can still wear his Price Is Right suits that hang in his closet.
