Fur-Free Friday was founded in 1986. The demonstration—held on one of the busiest shopping days of the year—aims to educate the public about the animal cruelty on fur farms, speak out against the furriers and luxury brands that sell fur, and celebrate brands and retailers that have committed to going fur-free. LCA is urging retailers along Rodeo Drive to go fur-free immediately before the California state fur ban is enacted on January 1, 2023.

Last Chance for Animals (LCA), an international non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation, and public awareness campaigns, with co-hosts Animal Defenders International, In Defense of Animals, Los Angeles Animal Save, The Animal Alliance Network, CompassionWorks International, and Orange County Animal Liberation, will be joined by artist E.G. Daily and countless supporters to protest the sale of fur products along Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills as part of the annual Fur-Free Friday observance on November 26, 2021.

“In this time of heightened social and political awareness, killing animals for a piece of high-end, luxury clothing will not be tolerated. The cruel fur industry is destined to come to an end,” said Chris DeRose, Founder and President of LCA. “Thanks to new legislative efforts across the country, our message is being heard loud and clear: killing animals for their fur has no place in modern society.”

This year’s Fur-Free Friday protest comes on the heels of efforts nationwide to stop the fur industry. Most recently in the U.S., the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, banned the retail sale of new fur products. There is pending legislation in Massachusetts to ban the sale of new fur products statewide.

The beauty of the new 2022 Versace Home collection is expressed in all its sculptural power in the new store space on Via Durini, Milan, which is staged like a real home. There the Versace world is revealed, room by room, in a succession of atmospheres that speak of its extraordinary ability to draw on different artistic expressions and transform them into a liveable reality.

Versace Home’s new 2022 collection of furniture and home accessories was created as part of a collaboration between Donatella Versace and the famous duo of design architects: Roberto Palomba and Ludovica Serafini. More than a simple transposition of the luxury fashion brand’s stylistic codes, this design project has been created by master architects in partnership with Luxury Living Group integrating fashion, luxury and living to offer a global experience of the Versace world.

The new Versace Home collection is the fruit of research into the brand’s history, its shows, its icons, and graphic elements that distinguish its philosophy, and most importantly of the incredible experience of the two architects when it comes to create interior design pieces that last.

Leather is combined with silk, luxury metals with marble, and block colors with printed surfaces as a celebration of contrasts. The Versace Home designs are defined by this polyphonic vision: each piece, with its own history and character, forms part of a complete and evocative environment in which we can immerse ourselves for a new living experience.

The brand’s new La Greca pattern evolves from the runway to the home and forms a jacquard that dresses furnishings. The pattern also provides a backdrop for some of the rooms in the Milan store. La Greca represents a modern interpretation of Versace’s iconic Greek Key.

Versace’s signature Medusa, Barocco and Trésor de la Mer motifs give three-dimensionality to the details of sofas and chairs, coffee tables, beds and lampshades, mirrors and cabinets. Tone-on-tone engravings, screen printing, textile treatments and pleating give elegant vibrations to the surfaces, combined with glossy finishes. Furniture such as the generous Aeternitas love bed, styles from the Goddess line, and those of the Stiletto collection are the stars of a rebellious, sophisticated and avant-garde habitat – all boasting expert craftsmanship.
