“Would you consider going fur free?”<\/p>\n
That’s the challenge Sia issued to Kanye West, hours before he unveiled his latest fashion collection.<\/p>\n
The pop star tweeted her question to Kanye, linking to a YouTube video that contained harrowing scenes of rabbits being slaughtered for their coats.<\/p>\n
“This is the reality of fur ,” said Sia. “It’s so sad.”<\/p>\n
West’s Yeezy Season 5 appeared to include both fur coats and accessories.<\/p>\n
The most striking item was a floor-sweeping fur coat, showcased by hijab-wearing model Halima Aden, who was the first Miss Minnesota contestant to compete wearing a hijab and burkini.<\/p>\n
Vogue magazine said the garments were faux fur, although the BBC has been unable to verify that report.<\/p>\n
