FUR FLYING

Fur is flying as campaign against fashion house Escada hots up, with over 100 actions since October 2007 by the Global Network Against the Fur Industry and the ALF. Earlier this month there were three days of action across Europe and the US, and the campaign is having such success that Escada are threatening to sue it for using its name.

The campaign kicked off big-time at the head office in Munich, which was severely trashed one night with butyric acid sprayed inside, paint splashed, windows smashed and clothing and material destroyed. There has also been a series of sabotages, paintbombs, glued locks, graffiti and more at Escada shops and its subsidiary firms BiBA, Apriori, Cavita and Laurèl in France, Spain and Germany. www.escada-campaign.org
