The 2009 fffashion design contest winners!
Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute (Born Free USA) and leading environmental publication, E Magazine, are proud to announce the 2009 winners of fffashion — the fur free fashion design competition promoting the ethical and environmental benefits of foregoing fur fashions.
Winners were chosen by a celebrity panel of judges including eco-model and Discovery Channel Planet Green host, Summer Rayne Oakes; lifestyle icon Sophie Uliano, author of New York Times bestselling book Gorgeously Green; and E Magazine editor Brita Belli.
Entries from all designers (student and independent) were judged together and all were eligible for the First place, Second place, and Third place awards and prize packages. The next highest ranking design by a student designer was also awarded recognition.
In addition, the Top Ten designs that made it through to the final judging round are available for viewing.

Being fur-free is both socially and environmentally responsible. Not only is the use of fur unconscionable in this progressive day and age, it is damaging to our wildlife, our ecosystems and people who work in fur processing factories. In short, it's impossible to design with fur, sell fur, or wear fur, and claim one is anything close to being 'green'.
— Sophie Uliano, fffashion judge
