Roger Federer will be one of the protagonists of the Met Gala 2023. The Swiss maestro, Dua Lipa and Penelope Cruz will be the co-hosts of the event. As Essentially Sports reports, animal welfare organization PETA has filed an urgent request on the sensitive issue of animal cruelty..
Ahead of the highly anticipated 2023 Met Gala, PETA encouraged co-hosts of the event to consider banning a common practice at such events, according to FashionUnited.in.
The animal welfare organization has urged the co-chairs to ask designers not to use fur, exotic animal skins or feathers at the multimillion-dollar event.
This concern was raised after the release of the theme for this year’s Met Gala. This year’s theme is “In Honor of Karl”. In the fashion world, Karl Lagerfeld is recognized as the designer who modernized the use of fur and feathers in clothing..
PETA wrote a letter to the five co-chairs of the Met Gala: “We ask that you implement a policy that allows designers to use only vegan feathers, faux furs and synthetic leathers, for the benefit of animals and the environment.“.
We remember that Federer designed the first vegan sports shoes with the Swiss Sporting ON brand. The company designs vegan leather shoes and claims to be 100% cruelty-free.
Novak Djokovic is one of the few tennis superstars to have adopted a vegetarian diet, like Venus Williams. Djokovic also encouraged fellow players and fans to do the same, albeit indirectly.
Federer at Wimbledon 2023 for the BBC?
Guest of Trevor Noah’s Daily Show last December, Roger Federer explained that he will try not to give up the world of tennis after his retirement.
Of the two paths indicated by the Swiss champion during the interview, the one that would lead him to the control room to follow some of the biggest events seems to be the most viable.
Federer, as journalist Sue Barker has said, could indeed join the BBC commentary team ahead of the next edition of Wimbledon. As the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reveals, the Switzerland visited the All England Club last week for the second time in a few months.
A visit that turns into a significant clue in the light of the indiscretions published by the major newspapers.
