Vegetarian Star

Russell Brand‘s a pro at being vegetarian and constantly shows up on PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Alive contest lists.

So when the foul mouthed meatless bad boy was seen wearing what appeared to be snakeskin boots at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash, he had to do some serious PR moves, quick.

“They’re fake. Specially made, don’t panic.”

The Veg Star never doubted Brand for a minute!

Stella McCartney thinks the fashion world is changing with the times.

Contact Music hints that there’s a demand for more ethical clothing and that other designers are catching onto what Stella discovered long ago–cruelty never looks cute.

“Stella McCartney thinks the fashion world is finally embracing ethical practices. The designer – who is a strict vegetarian and animal rights campaigner – has always used responsible production for her creations and now says everyone else is starting to follow suit.”

Stella said she hopes other designers are catching up and that she is constantly “learning all the time.”

One such example in Stella’s cruelty-free education is learning to design a shoe without leather that people (at least some people) can afford.

Stella had once said, “Our shoes are 70 percent more expensive to make because we don’t use conventional methods. When you’re not working with leather, you really have to think outside the box.”

What lessons will Stella take with her to create next season’s fashions?

Karl Lagerfeld is digging the fake fur scene!

The designer recently praised fake fur used in the Channel fall 2010 runway show.

Has Lagerfeld experienced a change in heart?

As Allure discusses, Lagerfeld was quoted by The Telegraph saying discussing the ethics of fur in fashion was “childish.”

But the beauty of faux has caught Lagerfeld’s attention and if he’s not doing it for ethics, at least he’s appreciating the aesthetic value of using material from something other than an animal.

Plus, the new fake fur is now soft and cuddly, according to Lagerfeld.

“Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing—not one piece,” said Lagerfeld. “That was the idea. The material is beautiful and new in a way, because it was not that perfect before. It looked vaguely ok, but if you touched it, it was stiff and harsh. Now, it’s not like that at all anymore.”

On another positive note, Allure says Lagerfeld also doesn’t eat meat.

Carol Leifer is set to make an appearance at the Tuscon Festival of Books on March 14 to discuss her latest book, When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win.

During a recent interview with the Arizona Daily Star, Carol admitted there were a few drawbacks to her decision to go vegan.

“I think the thing I miss the most is cheese,” she said but added that “you can really work around anything.”

On the other hand, she’s being frugal by not purchasing pricier items made from animal products.

“I’m saving so much money because I don’t buy wool any more, and I don’t buy leather.”

Which probably explains why she’ll only splurge on a pair of Stella McCartney shoes every once in awhile.

“Stella McCartney is my new savior. It’s pricey, so I buy it sparingly. It’s really good stuff.”

Dave Navarro

Tattooed Dave Navarro is giving an almost full frontal view of his body to promote the cause of saving animals from the fashion industry.

Back in his earlier rocker days, Navarro wore what he calls “over the top outfits” that contained fur.

These days, he’s happy with his own skin decorations.

“Some of the simple things you can do to help save animals is not buy fur, stay away from products that have been animal tested,” he told PETA. “It’s really very, very simple to just support something or buy something that doesn’t brutalize animals like this.”

Navarro scores another point for the gentlemen in the category of sexy PETA ads.

Gabrielle Anwar‘s not one to splurge on clothing, but when she did decide to treat herself, she took the ethical and cruelty-free route.

The actress told EcoStiletto she owns a pair of boots that were created with no animals being harmed.

“I’m not much of a fashionista, but I do have a pair of Stella McCartney thigh-high boots that aren’t made of leather—that was my big purchase last season. They’re so hot and I didn’t kill anything in the process.”

Gabrielle follows the same principles when it comes to her beauty routine, saying, “animal testing is out of the question.”

Gabrielle is truly beautiful inside and out, which is probably why she confesses to not wear any makeup unless she’s paid to do it.

Twiggy isn’t happy about the use of fur at this year’s London Fashion Week, and cites a new investigation by Animal Defenders International as a reason to boycott both fur and the designers who use it.

“I hope this ADI report helps the fashion industry realise that these poor animals are kept in such terrible and inhumane conditions,” said Twiggy, who’s real name is Lesley Hornby. “Is it really worth this cruelty just for fashion’s sake? I don’t think so.”

The new report details the conditions the animals are kept in at factory farms in Finland, a supplier to the UK.

Twiggy called using 20 foxes or 80 mink to make a single coat “intolerably cruel.”

“I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable,” she said.

The Daily Mail says fashion experts are reporting that Peter Pilotto, Caroline Charles, Matthew Williamson and Todd Lynn are all still using fur.

Leona Lewis‘ fashion line may have hit a little bump.

Though the singer still has plans to have a clothing and shoes brand created, it’s been difficult finding ethical and vegetarian friendly supplies.

“I’m trying to make that happen as soon as I can,” Lewis told UK Vogue.

“It’s a challenge – mostly with shoes – as I don’t wear any leather and am very ethical about what I wear.”

Despite the challenges, Leona’s love of both animals and fashion will most likely give her the motivation to continue to pursue the clothing line that Leona wishes to be both trendy and affordable.

“I really enjoy fashion and I love being creative. I work with a couple of stylists but I love fashion so am always looking online and in magazines for inspiration,” she said.
