Fashion News: Designer James Perse for Beagle Freedom Project



LA-based James Perse continues its charitable efforts with its participation in the Beagle Freedom Project.

BFP was started in 2010 by Shannon Keith after learning Beagles were being used for animal experiments in laboratories abroad. The program was designed to not only rescue the dogs, but also get them safely back into the U.S. and offer them up for adoption. James Perse representative, Noah Stone, stated, "James has a Beagle, himself, so his desire to participate in the cause came naturally, as the breed is obviously very near and dear to his heart."

Pictured above is the window display at the James Perse store on Melrose which incorporates 15 of the 41 original crates used to transport the dogs back into the United States from the labs where they were used for tests including medical/pharmaceutical, household products and cosmetics.

This is very interesting. I like the contrast between the foreboding cages, and the comforting lawn in front of them. Thanks for posting.
