A common complaint from vegan and ethical men is that there aren’t enough professional lines that happen to be cruelty free. That may have changed recently.

Russell Simmons will launch a line of men’s clothing at Macy’s stores called Argyleculture. The site for the brand is still under construction, but a look at some of the attire at Elle shows a variety of styles suited for the office, golf course or club.

Simmons spoke to Ecouterre about his new line, which keeps vegan principles he’s adhered to for years.

Stella McCartney spoke to The Daily Beast about growing in the vegetarian McCartney family and how it’s inspired her life today.

“It began with my parents,” Stella said. “It’s more than just saying that we’re vegetarians. It’s a philosophy of how you conduct your life and time on the planet. We were quite a responsible family. One of the things I was taught growing up was, “Do unto others as you would have done to yourself.” So it’s not just about not killing cattle and “Meat-Free Monday.” It’s a way of life. But we’re not claiming to be perfect.”

Stella continues to promote the values she grew up with by refusing to use leather or fur in her fashion collections, sourcing sustainable materials when possible and donating a portion of sales from some of her fashions to the family’s Meat-Free Monday campaign.

The New York Post is reporting that Kim Kardashian and her new hubby Kris Humphries requested some pretty lavish gifts on their wedding registry. The list from Gearys in Beverly Hills featured items like a $7,850 vase and $670 plates for a total of over $66,000!

The newlywed’s gift from PETA was probably not nearly as expensive as the vase, but no less luxurious and priceless in terms of the message it sent.

Lauren Bush has launched another item in her line of FEED Projects handbags.

The Clarins FEED 15 pouch will provide 15 meals to school children for each pouch sold. Inside are three popular Clarins beauty products.

“World hunger kills more people then HIV, AIDS, and Malaria combined. It’s a silent killer,” Bush said. “I would just encourage everyone to get involved and take that first step in either learning, or educating your friends about world hunger, or making a donation. Every little bit helps. Obviously, there’s a need here (to help starving children) in America as well – we can’t forget about that either.”
