Humane World for Animals, formerly called the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International, made its debut at New York Fashion Week with an exclusive collaboration at world-renowned designer Christian Siriano's fall show. Siriano unveiled three custom-designed pieces: a bra, coat and pants, all featuring an animal print fashioned from Humane World for Animals’ newly redesigned logo, with the bra serving as the striking centerpiece and the other items designed to complete the full look. The pieces were all created in an animal-cruelty-free black and white material, aligning seamlessly with the monochrome theme of Siriano’s collection this season.
This partnership aims to unite Humane World for Animals’ global mission to end animal suffering with Christian Siriano’s inclusive, bold and socially conscious design approach, bringing compassion and care for animals to life through the lens of fashion. Earlier this year, Siriano designed a custom couture gown using the Humane World for Animals animal print for Grammy-nominated artist Sia, who wore the piece during a live performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote the organization’s rebrand announcement earlier this year.
“I’ve always believed fashion can be more than beautiful; it can be meaningful,” said Christian Siriano. “Partnering with Humane World for Animals allows me to spark conversation and awareness around caring for animals. The bra, as the centerpiece, embodies how animals are close to our hearts and serves as a reminder of the love and responsibility we share toward them. Together with the additional pieces, it reflects both style and purpose, showing how creativity and compassion can truly coexist on the runway.”
“This partnership marks an exciting evolution in our ongoing collaboration with Christian, bringing our shared mission to one of fashion’s most influential stages,” said Kitty Block, president and CEO of Humane World for Animals. “By working with visionary designers, we can show the world that compassion and style go hand in hand. This is about more than fashion; it’s a statement that caring for animals is always in style.”
Humane World for Animals has long advanced a powerful narrative at the intersection of fashion and ethics. The organization has spearheaded advocacy to end the fur trade for decades by working with designers and retailers to adopt fur-free policies. Through legislation, sustained public education, corporate campaigns and support for humane alternatives to fur, Humane World for Animals has helped usher in a new era where cruelty in fashion is becoming ethically obsolete.
