Introduction - Fashion Design
Colorado Arts Net will consider providing a link to any fashion designer, firm or manufacturer based in Colorado, New Mexico, or Wyoming.animal rights advisory: Our commitment to animal rights will preclude listing any designer or fashion organization who sells or promotes leather or fur as a significant part of their operation. Conversely, those designers providing no-kill apparel may receive preference. The usage of tiny quantities of leather materials will not necessarily bar listing but even so, may greatly reduce Colorado Arts Net's interest in promoting your endeavor. Although animal rights activists are a very tiny minority, the vast majority of animals within the boundaries of civilization endure entire lives of denatured existence, physical, biological and psychological discomfort and ultimately the death penalty in order to serve the egos of fashion consumers.
The Fashion section was implemented in 1998 late March.
