Sadie Frost Judges PETA Fashion Awards
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 6th, 2013 in Actresses, Fashion.
Sadie Frost and Meg Mathews were judges in the first-ever vegan fashion awards sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The actress and vegetarian said of her opportunity:
“My two greatest passions are fashion and helping animals, so I was thrilled when PETA asked me to help judge their fashion awards. It’s phenomenal how many retailers and top designers are using pleather, micro-suede and faux cashmere in their collections, and the quality is amazing. The new fabrics are kinder not only to animals but also to the environment.”
Stella McCartney won an award for Most Stylish Women’s Shoes. Vivienne Westwood won for Most Stylish Handbag.
McCartney, who is also a vegetarian, once said on her philosophy behind fashion and ethics:
“My first job is to be a fashion designer — my first job is to make desirable, luxurious, beautiful clothing and accessories that women want to buy but I will always take the opportunity to use a beautiful organic fabric. I obviously don’t use any animal skins or furs in my collections which has a huge impact on the planet. About fifty million animals die for the sake of fashion ever year, which is extremely wasteful and significantly contributes to climate change as farming uses a lot of water, energy and land, devastate forests and pollutes oceans.”
