Linda Loudermilk Spring 2010
Eco designer Linda Loudermilk has previewed some of her Spring 2010 collection, which features vegan silk-harvested without killing the silkworm.
In addition, treehugger.com is reporting on how other eco friendly fabrics are used:
“The collection does have its share of organic cotton (with no pesticides or heavy mineral dyes, of course) – but she also uses vegan silk for vests; silk charmeuse, lyocell, and a seaweed-based fabric for tops and tunics; bamboo for cuffs, pants and shorts; human hair and hemp in spats; organic wool in jackets; and reclaimed French lace in dresses.”

It’s unfortunate that they chose to call their silk vegan, because it’s not. This sort of thing just confuses the public even more about what “vegan” means.
“Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.”

I’ve heard of this kind of silk, it’s actually called “peace silk”. A product that comes from an animal, no matter how fabulously the animal is treated, will never technically be vegan. It’s not about purity or passing judgment, it’s about maintaining the technical definition. Calling peace silk vegan is as absurd as someone calling free-range eggs vegan because they thought the hens were treated well.
