PETA Gives a Talk on Ethical Fashion at FAD International Mumbai

People are increasingly choosing eco-friendly vegan options, and brands around the world are now paying attention to ethical fashion. This is leading to an increase in the use of pleather, faux silk, fake snake, and other cruelty-free fabrics, which are now more popular than ever.

Today, PETA India was at FAD Academy International–Mumbai to speak to students about vegan fashion and share information about these great materials. Benazir Suraiya, a fashion expert and PETA’s associate manager of celebrity and media projects, explained how easy it is to make a compassionate choice.
