Legendary supermodel Twiggy has joined with Animal Defenders International to call for London Fashion Week to stop using fur on the catwalks, saying 'the UK prides itself as a nation of animal lovers, so I am asking London Fashion Week to make an ethical choice and reject real fur'.

Around 50 million animals are killed for their fur around the world each year, and other celebrities supporting the anti-fur cause include Stella McCartney, Ricky Gervais and Samantha Womack.
