Designer Stella McCartney found an interesting way to launch her sustainable luxury fashion collection.
Stella staged a protest outside Milan's Duomo di Milano cathedral to spread the message that animals are our equals.
To showcase her vision of a cruelty-free society, she got models to pose as animals while being dressed in looks from her Autumn 2021 collection.
