Michael Kors have announced that they will no longer use animal fur in their products.
迈克高仕（Michael Kors，美国轻奢设计师品牌）宣布他们在产品中将不再使用动物皮毛。
The new policy will also apply to Jimmy Choo, which Michael Kors Holdings acquired in July for a multimillion pound deal.

The initiative comes just a few months after Gucci announced that they would also abolish fur from their products.

在迈克高仕的首席执行官约翰·伊多尔与“善待动物组织”的丹·马修会谈过之后，迈克高仕就决定不再使用皮毛。
The US luxury label has since revealed that any fur products currently in production will be phased out by December 2018 and that they will introduce a new faux alternative in their forthcoming collections.
之后该美国奢侈品牌就表示，到2018年12月他们目前正在生产的所有皮毛产品将逐步淘汰，而且他们将在新产品中引入一种新的人造替代材料。
“This decision marks a new chapter as our company continues to evolve its use of innovative materials,” explained Idol.
“我们公司一直在研究创新材料的应用，而这一决定也标志着我们的研究进入了新篇章，”伊多尔解释道。
“We now have the ability to create a luxe aesthetic using non-animal fur,” he added.

"美国动物保护协会主席韦恩·帕瑟勒表示，“随着人造皮毛的发展和其他创新材料的引进，显然我们没有理由继续使用一种会引起诸多伤痛的产品。”
