Hearst Magazines Bans Fur From Its Publications

Following the publicisation of Condé Nast’s fur ban in October, the Harper’s Bazaar publisher will now prohibit the use of animal fur in its editorial and advertising content.

The new amendment reads: “Across our portfolio of wholly owned global brands, Hearst Magazines prohibits the promotion of animal fur in editorial content and advertising. (Our guidelines recognize defined exceptions and apply to all new business and future content).”

The decision comes less than a week after the Council of Fashion Designers of America announced last Wednesday it would ban fur from New York Fashion Week, and two months after publishing imprint Condé Nast went public with its own fur ban across editorial content and advertising.

Hearst Magazines’ ban follows a five-day protest campaign against the media company by grassroots organization the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade, which included a demonstration last Friday in the lobby of global headquarters Hearst Tower in New York City. The CAFT said it would next be campaigning against the US luxury brand Rick Owens.
