Designers Including Stella McCartney And Vivienne Westwood Urge UK Prime Minister To Ban Fur Sales ‘It’s time for our government to consign the fur trade to the history books where it belongs and ban the sale of fur’ Eight iconic fashion brands including Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood are urging UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ban fur sales. Fur farming was banned in Britain in 2003. But, since then, Britain has imported more than £800 million worth of fur from countries such as Finland, China, and Poland. Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood Designers Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Katharine Hamnett, ERDEM, Shrimps, Christopher Raeburn, and Helen Moore are backing Humane Society International’s #FurFreeBritain campaign.
