Cactus Leather-Clad Alan Cumming Is a ‘Rebel With a Cause’ in New PETA Campaign

Alan Cumming is a bad boy with a good cause: to urge everyone to only wear leather made from plants. Just in time for New York Fashion Week, The Traitors host is fronting a provocative PETA campaign to rebel against the cruel animal-skin industry. Channeling Marlon Brando in The Wild One, Cumming is styled after the tradition of iconic classic movie outlaws, donning a cactus-leather jacket by AllSaints, vegan leather Dr. Martens boots, and a vegan leather cap.

Alan Cumming in PETA "Rebel With a Cause" ad — PETA’s poster—which was shot by photographer Richard Phibbs—can be seen throughout Soho and the Meatpacking District.

Take a peek behind the scenes of PETA’s stunning new ad, which will make its live debut at the Emmy-winning star’s legendary New York City venue, Club Cumming.

Wearing Cows Isn’t Cool

Cows are living, feeling individuals who form friendships, mourn loved ones, and care for their families. Wearing vegan leather means sparing these sensitive animals and protecting the planet from the animal-skin industry’s environmental destruction—all while stepping out in style. Join Alan Cumming and pledge to ditch animal skins.

Pledge to Reject Leather

I am rejecting leather. By signing my name, I am taking a stand against the leather industry, which pollutes the environment, harms human health, and is extremely cruel to animals.
