Fur-free and otherwise ethical fashionistas will come out on the evening of September 22 for the Humane Society’s H-Couture fashion show meant to highlight cruelty-free men’s and women’s designer wear.

Vampire Diaries stars Paul Wesley and Torrey DeVitto will host the event featuring designs by John Bartlett, Charlotte Ronson and more.

“Fashion should be fun, and I don’t see how wearing animal fur can be anything other than cruel and unnecessary,” says DeVitto. Wesley added, “We both support events that promote compassion for animals.”

Watch the clips below to hear why some of the event’s featured designers chose to be a part of the event.

“I’ve always been anti-fur – I love my pets…and I could never see them being worn. It’s a very human time right now, and what’s the sense in more carnage? There are other things in life to celebrate and design doesn’t have to be draped with dead animals.”

Victoria recently partnered with the Humane Society of the United States to distribute anti-fur literature and buttons at her Spring/Summer 2010 runway show this past weekend as part of New York Fashion Week.
