Fur

Although the singer will be using vegan leather to create the pieces in the range, she is well-known for her love of fur clothing and is regularly pictured wearing hats and coats made from real animal fur. Cardi B faced criticism after she wore a fur coat at Beautycon in April. Taking to Instagram to respond to the backlash, the rapper's stylist Kollin Carter wrote: "I've been called a n— and gotten death threats because I chose to put my client in fur …. ridiculous." cardi b vegan leather range Taking to Twitter after the event, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) posted: "Fur is never okurrrr @Cardib" next to a photo of her in the coat next to a fox captioned, "Who wore it Better?" Cardi B was also recently pictured at the Met Gala in a dress covered in over 30,000 coque feathers, prompting PETA to point out that wearing feathers is just as cruel as fur. "Those feathers once belonged to living, feeling animals and were ripped out of their bodies, which were left bloody, broken, and destroyed," they wrote. Fur has been rapidly falling out of fashion with designers in recent years with big brands such as Yoox Net-a-Porter Group, Gucci, Michael Kors, Versace, Burberry, Donna Karan, Coach, Chanel, Jean Paul Gautier and Jimmy Choo all turning their backs on fur.

Fashion Nova x Cardi B is set to launch on May 8 and will be available to purchase online.
