Vegetarian Star

Stella McCartney has been chosen as the creative director for the British Olympic Team!

Stella’s title means she’ll be overseeing everything the athletes wear, as well as the fan wear. Her partnership with the Olympic brand Team GB marks the first time a fashion designer will be responsible for the attire of the entire British team, including for the 2012 London Games.

Stella called her role, “an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” and her words may be more than sentiment for other fashion designers.

No other designer has been granted involvement with the Olympic games at such a high level, the closest coming to the honor being Ralph Lauren being responsible for the opening ceremony outfits for team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Matt & Nat

Vegan handbag and accessory company Matt & Nat is one of two finalists in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Competition.

Inder Bedi, co-owner and creative director for Matt & Nat, was challenged to go vegan for 30 days. He not only created different recipes, but an eco-friendly, animal-friendly line of handbags that feature faux leather and signature celebrity designs like the Jorja Fox.

The Ernst & Young Young Entrepreneur of the Year award recognizes entrepreneurs in Canada and worldwide for their ability to “drive growth, build communities and transform.” Ernst & Young is one of the largest professional services in the world, along with companies such as PrincewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte. In 2009, Forbes magazine recognized Ernst & Young as the 10th largest private company in the U.S.

“I love Loyale! I wear their tops a lot, and they have great everyday pieces, which I just adore. Bahar Shahpar has beautiful skirts and dresses. Other labels I like are Organic by John Patrick (another great label for everyday pieces), Linda Loudermilk (the mother of green design can be very inventive), and EcoSkin for casual dresses.  For shoes, I love Beyond Skin, they have a wonderfully huge selection of shoes, I specifically love the vintage-y looking pieces. Olsenhaus is a new line I’m just loving. I’m obsessed with the holographic shoes! And then of course, Stella McCartney is the first big designer not to use leather. Her shoes are expensive but so worth it. They’re very well-made. Also, Cri de Coeur makes some great boots.”

Stella McCartney is known as the fashion designer in the famous family that launched their Meat Free Monday campaign in the UK aimed at getting people to eat less meat to save the environment. But lately, Mary McCartney has put her artistic talents behind clothing, creating a 100% organic cotton t-shirt that benefits an orphanage in India.

Between the two vegetarian sisters, who would you rather…

Carrie Underwood was spotted in a Los Angeles airport with her dog Ace, who she transported in a Sherpa’s Pet Trading Company Original Tote Around Town carrier.

The Tote Around Town is lined with a faux lambskin cushion so pets like Ace can stay comfortable without rubbing on another animal’s hide.

Sherpa’s carriers are airline approved for both dogs and cats of various sizes, many of which have the same removable, washable faux lambskin cushion.

More information about the totes can be found at Sherpa’s, and they are available online at places like Republic of Paws.

Brigitte Bardot Lancel

French animal rights activist and former actress and sex icon Brigitte Bardot has partnered with the leather goods company Lancel.

A vegetarian and leather company? No, this isn’t an oxymoron. Bardot is the inspiration behind the new eco-friendly bag, which currently can only be seen in sketches, as it’s just in the very earliest stages of development.

Since 1876 the company has been making handbags of the animal hide type, so this should come as refreshment and sign of yet another business recognizing the market for green and cruelty-free.

Still, some are already arguing it’s risky business, especially for Bardot’s reputation as Lancel’s main product is still leather.

Mary McCartney has designed 100% organic cotton t-shirts for the Danish children’s label Mini A Ture. The two shirts will benefit Sunway Children’s Home, an orphanage in India, which Mini A. Ture has supported since 2005.

The shirts are available at the Selfridges store in London, and can also be ordered online.

Choosing organic cotton to design the clothing aligns well with the McCartney family’s ideals to preserve the environment. It’s estimated that cotton crops use about a quarter of all agricultural insecticides applied globally each year and according to the EPA, 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton crops are either known or potential human carcinogens.

Stella McCartney debuted her Spring collection in the same building where Jonathan Horowitz’s “Go Vegan” display is housed–the Gavin Brown’s Art Gallery. Coincidence?

The vegetarian designer who shuns fur and leather in her fashions, said she decided to embellish a little this season, going with more bright colors and prints on items like cotton jackets.

“I just love spring,” Stella said, according to the New York Times. “I find it so hopeful and so uplifting, as far as seasons go. Last season my collection was so devoid of prints, so for spring I really wanted to make a statement.”

A Van Leeuwen Ice Cream truck was present to provide treats and the ice cream company has a rich tradition of sustainable and animal friendly practices.
