Sophie Ellis-Bextor Explains Her Shock PETA Ad

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed why she did the controversial ad for PETA where she’s shown holding a dead fox carcass. “I’m not a fashion fascist and if someone wants to wear it, they can,” she told the Sunday Mirror. “But surely they should question what they’re doing. There’s that famous quote about it takes 14 dumb animals to make a fur coat, but only one to wear it, and it’s true. A lot of people have forgotten it’s not OK to wear it because they are dictated to by designers. Fashion can get too big for its own boots.”
