John Bartlett Ambassador Collection

John Bartlett recently launched the Ambassador Collection–t-shirts benefiting Farm Sanctuary, one of the nation’s largest animal sanctuaries for abused and neglected farm animals.

A vegan who eliminated leather from his fashion collections a few years ago, Bartlett spoke to Businessweek about his success as a cruelty-free designer in the industry.

Businessweek: The clothes in your high fashion collection are cruelty free. What does that entail?

Bartlett: Cruelty free means that no animals are used in the product. Everything I work with is either plant based or synthetic.

For example, for the Fall collection, I created some really cool jackets from ultrasuede, which is a recycled micro fiber.

Lady Gaga Meat Dress Born This Way Tour

Lady Gaga‘s meat dress will be preserved a little longer than beef is in your stomach at the “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power” exhibit at the National Museum of Women and Arts.

The exhibit is meant to highlight women in rock music who’ve also struck the rights cords in humanitarian issues, such as women’s rights.

They must be sexy. They must be former presidents of the United States. And they must follow a vegan diet.

So most geezers need not apply.
