    The use of furs has become a controversial topic in fashion, which has acquired various connotations that respond to the influence on context in which the different characters develop, Although there are those who defend its use by highlighting the benefits offered both, the leather industry and its products, being overshadowed by the constant reports of exploitation and violence towards animals which are used to produce leathers, destined for clothing, accessories and ornamental elements. Currently, the animal fur is still used in large quantities, so its high consumption in the fashion industry, is a problem that we want to analyze through the meanings of animal skin over the time and its relationship with cruelty-free fashion, with the purpose of encouraging respect for the natural cycle and the life of these creatures, under exploratory, descriptive and explanatory research, addressed from the collection of bibliographic information from various sources such as books, documents and websites. Linked with the criteria obtained from the interviews made to fur-working designers and tanners, surveys applied to consumers and the visit to a slaughterhouse. The solution proposed to the problem shown is the accomplishment of a narrative chronicle, which analyzes the evolution of animal skin consumption in prehistory, premodernity, modernity and postmodernity, in this last stage, is developed an analysis of the current state of the leather industry and the birth of cruelty-free fashion presented in an academic journal, which compiles all the information that was generated, becoming a contribution to the development of more researches on fashion and its relationship with animals.
