Born Free USA, as you know, uncovered the graphic reality of furbearer trapping with our hard-hitting “Victims of Vanity” investigation. But we also look at the fur issue from the market side of things. Short for fur free fashion, fffashion is a clothing-design competition that encourages innovative and compassionate designers to submit striking dresses, jackets, coats and couture combinations that are chic — without the “Yeek!” of real fur. We’re proud to announce this year’s fffashion winners, including Stephanie Teague of North Carolina, whose first-place mustard mini dress (shown in the accompanying image) is made from fine hemp linen and organic cotton gauze colored with eco-friendly, low-impact dyes.
