Dubbed the “Man Who Convinced Armani to Give Up Fur” by Esquire and named one of Glossy's top change makers in fashion, PJ Smith works with leading fashion companies to implement policies that are good for animals and the environment.
As the fashion policy director for the Humane Society of the United States, PJ has spent more than a decade working with top fashion companies—including ELLE magazine, Kering, Prada, Chanel, Michael Kors, Macy's, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Dolce&Gabbana and many more—to set policies that have reformed supply chains and revolutionized the way the fashion industry views animals.
In 2010, PJ helped pass the federal Truth in Fur Labeling Act, which ensures clear and proper labeling for all fur products, and in 2019, he was instrumental in California becoming the first state to phase out new fur sales.
He resides in Austin, Texas with his dog Franny.

"As for PJ Smith, an individual who didn't plan on working in fashion, he has not only made an impressive impact, but has also successfully converted a number of brands to go furless, not to mention having triggered an international fashion revolution, all without sacrificing glamour.”
