Karl Lagerfeld, the head designer of Chanel, opposes the practice of using the animal fur by stating that there was “an industry who lives from that.” He provokes other designers to start using the alternative fur instead of animal fur by revealing that he is success on that.
Chanel also host many charities and fashion shows to support a different cause each year. The Chanel Pour Le Temps Charity Fashion Show is one of the most anticipated events in the year of 2012. It is being held in honor of Mitochondrial Disease Awareness. Chanel participates yearly in donating the cosmetic products to help people with cancer to “look good” and “feel better.”
Chanel started to “go green;” they followed the idea of Eco-friendly fashion. They have made many clothes and done many fashion shows that show of the Eco-friendly side of fashion. The little black dress, a women’s wardrobe staple since Coco Chanel first introduced them to the world decades ago, have now become Eco-friendly. Chanel designers collaborate to produce apparel and accessories made with recycled plastic and now it is easier for consumers to find clothing and accessories that are made with recycled plastics.
