San Francisco Bans Fur (The Cut)
The Board of Supervisors in San Francisco ruled last night that they would ban selling new fur products within the city, making San Francisco the first major American city to enact such a ban. The Fur Information Council of America CEO said in a statement that the ban on fur would lead to an increase of petroleum-based faux fur, which would “directly contradict the many positive environmental moves the SF city council has taken regarding plastics and Styrofoam.”

Longtime Vanity Fair creative director of fashion and style will be departing the magazine. “Working at Vanity Fair has been the most wonderful journey. Over the last 12 years I have worked with some of the greatest creative talents in fashion, film and photography and been lucky enough to be involved in the creation of some of the most memorable imagery of our time,” Diehl said in a statement. “As our industry evolves I feel this is the right moment to explore new areas within the business and look forward to new endeavors.” Diehl’s departure is the latest shakeup at the title on new editor-in-chief Radhika Jones’ watch. Last month over a dozen other staffers were let go.
