Austin Armacost, who once had a relationship with designer Marc Jacobs, is the new face of a PETA anti-fur campaign. Stripping off for the provocative photograph, Austin stands naked at the end of a catwalk, covering himself with a sign which reads "Turn Your Back on Fur". The campaign is according to PETA, aimed at gay people and the preview image was accompanied with a quote from Austin speaking on why he took part, which even includes a mention of his relationship with Marc. He said:
"As a gay model, I have always been dismayed that some otherwise progressive people in the gay fashion pack have such disregard for the animals who are skinned alive for coats, collars, or cuffs [including my ex Marc Jacobs]."
