Animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is urging stars who wore Armani to the Emmy Awards on Sunday to boycott the designer after he chose not to honor a 2007 promise to stop using fur. Giorgio Armani told Time magazine "I spoke with the people from PETA, and they showed me some materials that convinced me not to use fur", but his latest collection features fur coats for babies, floral-printed fur coats and other furry accessories, upsetting the people at PETA.

The organization's vice-president Dan Mathews has already written to celebrity Armani fans like Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey, urging them not to buy or promote the designer's wares.

In a letter sent to Cruise, Mathews writes, "Please be vigilant about any packages that Armani sends for Suri, as they could include bunny fur from his toddler lines. We imagine that Suri, like other children, has a natural affinity for animals, which is why we find it shocking that Armani is not only breaking his fur-free promise but also trying to lure children into fashion derived from skinned rabbits."

And now Mathews is sending letters to Kristin Chenoweth, Glenn Close, and Heidi Klum, who all wore Armani to the Emmys.
