Quantcast Vegetarian StarAlexa Chung Does “Thrift America” In New PBS Series (Video)

Alexa Chung is caught in yet another moral dichotomy. She likes collecting dead things even though she considers herself vegetarian. And she loves her husband and her lover because they both are incredibly stylish.

“Williamsburg is sort of like my lover, whereas London is more like my husband. I love my husband, and I’ll always be with him, but Williamsburg is so exciting.”

Thank goodness you can’t cheat when shopping, cause Chung will be perusing many vintage stores on her upcoming PBS series “Thrift America,” scheduled to air next summer.

Consignment shops, Goodwill, The Salvation Army, you name it, are all great places to lighten your footprint by taking advantage of what’s already created instead of contributing to the demand for more clothing–and more fibers, energy and unless they’re organic, more pesticides used on the crops, like cotton.

But are they a place for old furs? If you’ve given up that lifestyle, is it okay to let potentially less fortunate people or those that aren’t buying new fur coats display them? Or would you feel more comfortable donating the piece to an animal who the fur might look a little more natural on?
