Clothing
designer and activist Joshua Katcher’s upcoming book Fashion Animals
targets the dark side of fashion, through a hard-hitting critique of the use and abuse of animals in the industry.

After five
years in the making, Katcher smashed his Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign goal of
$20,000 to put Fashion Animals to print – reaching $22,567 in donations from
supporters of his work.

His exposé will be released on July 1, and is
now available for prepurchase on Amazon.

Exposé

Fashion
Animals
has been described by Katcher as ‘the only critical book on animals in
fashion’.

On the
Indiegogo page, he wrote: “The
fashion industry has an intentionally hidden history of staggering, global
impacts on animals and the environment, from extinctions to massive industrial
confinement and killing.

“That’s
why I spent five years writing the only critical book on animals in fashion,
compiling research, data and a spectacular archive of rare images.”
