Defiant: Julien Macdonald, with Naomi Campbell, produced a higher than normal fur count - indicating that he may be heading for Milan




Designer Julien Macdonald has declared war on animal lovers protesting against his use of fur in London Fashion Week.

Some onlookers were shocked to see his autumn collection relied heavily on different types of fur - even to create an entire dress.

But he remained unrepentant, saying: "People who don't like fur can p*ss off. I love fur. It's a beautiful natural product from animals."



Macdonald has been urged to stop using fur in the past, and last night's show, cloaked in secrecy, was the only Fashion Week event which withheld the venue amid fears that animal rights activists would gatecrash the event at the Park Lane Hilton.

Macdonald, 34, who stars in the Sky One reality show Project Catwalk, had Naomi Campbell open his collection wearing a fur-trimmed black parka.

She left the show with one of his signature fur coats.

With confirmation of the Welsh designer's imminent decampment to either New York or Milan, the larger than normal fur count suggests it will be the latter, as fur is considered more acceptable in Italy.

Today a spokeswoman for anti-fur group Peta said: "Every year tens of thousands of animals will be killed for Julien's collections."

Actress Pamela Anderson, a Peta supporter, snubbed an invitation from Macdonald this week, telling him: "If you stop using fur, I'd be thrilled to attend... I know you can come up with killer fashions that don't kill anything."

    PETA is stupid, but so are people who wear animal fur around themselves to keep warm. This is the 21st century already! We're not living in caves anymore.

    People who obsess over fashion and people who obsess over chinchillas can each pick one of my nuts and go to town.

    I'd much rather have people obsess over the well-being of living things than what coat they have to wear to their upper-class party.

    The fur industry is disgusting. Even if you hate PETA, I don't see how you can defend the inhumanity of that industry.

    It's just like the beef, pork, chicken, fish....etc, etc....industries. The majority of these animals are farm-raised for one purpose in life. I see no problem.

    I agree... I am fine with killing animals for a food source, but that's about it. I don't like sport hunting (if the meat goes to waste), or killing them for "fashion".

    Define "sport hunting." I assure you that nearly all of the White-tailed Deer taken in hunts in the Southern U.S. is fully utilized for human consumption. If you drive through a deer hunting region, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a deer meat processing operation. The majority of game birds and waterfowl are eaten. Now that only leaves hunting for the big carnivores, like bear and lions. That is probably the only "sport hunting" where the meat goes to waste.

    To me sport hunting is where you shoot something just to shoot it. I grew up hunting (in western PA), and there are a lot of hunters in my family, and I was brought up to eat what I shot.

    I'm not a fan of people that shoot deer just to keep the rack or that kind of stuff.
