The designer's newfound veganism has changed his stance on using fur in his collections — just before his Fall 2018 womenswear show. 

All it took was one angry PETA protester and a can of strewn tomato juice outside of an event for designer Tom Ford to seriously consider &mdash;&nbsp;and eventually commit &mdash;&nbsp;to going vegan. In fact, Ford has recently celebrated his veganniversary, telling WWD that he and the no-animal, no-byproduct diet have been going strong &ldquo;for about the last year.&rdquo;

In recent news, Ford has brought his lifestyle changes to work by gradually becoming fur-free. &ldquo;I have started using much more fake fur. I&rsquo;m not yet ready to say that I&rsquo;m fur-free,&rdquo; the designer has remarked on his in-house changes. Ford&rsquo;s reservations about fully ditching fur are also due to environmental concerns, however. While real fur has the durability to last a family through generations, Ford notes, faux fur,&nbsp;a petroleum product,&nbsp;has less of a lifetime and does not biodegrade.

There does happen to be a solution: food by-product - or, the fur of animals who have already been slaughtered for their meat. Though the use of food by-product, in Ford&rsquo;s words, &ldquo;does not sound sexy,&rdquo;&nbsp;it is a thoughtful attempt on the part of Ford to do something even sexier: keep animals snug in their natural coats.&nbsp;
