Elisabetta Canalis Unveils Naked Anti-Fur Ad on Rodeo Drive

Shoppers Get an Eyeful as Italian Model Kicks Off PETA’s Fall Campaign


Beverly Hills, Calif. -- Shoppers on Rodeo Drive this week will get an eyeful as top Italian TV host and actor Elisabetta Canalis previews her “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” fall campaign for PETA. Canalis—the first Italian to pose in the iconic campaign—has teamed with PETA to make a splash with ads and billboards this winter in the fashion capital of Milan, where many designers continue to use real fur.

Where: Rodeo Drive and Brighton Way, Beverly Hills

When: Tuesday, September 13, 12 noon

“Don’t buy fur,” says Canalis, who will be seen this fall on TV’s Dancing With the Stars. “Even a little trim—your gloves or your bag or your jackets …. You must remember that animals don’t have a voice; you must be their voice. Never be afraid to speak up.”

Canalis joins a growing list of celebrities—including Charlize Theron, Pamela Anderson, Taraji P. Henson, Bethenny Frankel, Eva Mendes, and Lea Michele—who have starred in PETA’s anti-fur ad campaigns.
