Project Runway “Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 in Fashion, Reality TV.

61st Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees For Outstanding Costumes Kick-Off Party

Tonight’s episode of Project Runway titled “Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!” seems puzzling, as it conveys that the catwalk will be covered in bird and animal-wear.

But wait.

Anyone who follows fashion king Tim Gunn knows he not down with fur by any means, as designers are not permitted to use it in their fashions.

And a recent episode had one divorcee request a completely animal-free piece of fashion created by recycling her old wedding dress.

Will this be an opportunity for the contestants to shine faux style?

Tune in tonight at 10PM et/pt on Lifetime to find out!

Fearne Cotton wraps warm up in a leopard print coat as she arrives at the Radio One studios in London

Fearne Cotton walked into the Radio One Studios recently wearing this leopard print coat.

Sure, it’s probably cold in London, but we seriously doubt vegetarian Fearne is wearing real fur.

Or is she?

She admitted to indulging in Mulberry handbags that come in all sorts of leather varieties.

What do you think?

Is Fearne fur real or fur fake?

Stella McCartney “Gap Kids” “Baby Gap” Clothing November 2009

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 in Children, Fashion.

Natural Resources Defense Council 11th Annual Forces For Nature Benefit

Stella McCartney is about to launch her collection of children’s clothing this November in the UK, France, Japan, United States and Canada, as a collaboration between Gap Kids and Baby Gap.

As expected, Stella’s collections for the little ones will contain no fur or leather. However, there will be wool.

Stella herself is a mother of three children, but intends to stick with adult fashions as this will be a one time only collection.

When designing the collection, Stella thought of both durability and comfort.

“Perfect little kids are not really very me,” Stella said, at a W magazine photo shoot. “I wanted to have a bit of realness. When you’re talking about this kind of accessibility and children it’s really important that you feel comfortable throwing the lot of it in the washing machine and not being too precious with it.”

“To me, the fabric is so important, especially on a child, as they are so aware when things are scratchy.”

The collection will range from $14-$128 and will feature everything from blankets to sweaters to military jackets for boys and girls.

Georges Laraque On Tofu, Payless Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 12th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Fashion, Food & Drink.

Montreal Canadiens v Toronto Maple Leafs

In the midst of the press, Georges Laraque took off one of his shoes.

He didn’t throw it at George W. Bush, but instead took the time to educate a reporter about animal-free shoes.

“Even my shoes. I got this pair I’m wearing from Payless, paid $40 for them. I don’t wear leather now,” Laraque said.

The Montreal Canadienes player went vegan in June, but that doesn’t mean he’s a tofu fanatic.

“I never really liked tofu but when you decide to make that switch, it’s not that hard,” he said.

“When you see what an animal goes through, it would have been way tougher for me to contribute to the meat industry. I mean, I never really liked tofu but if this was a diet, it might have been harder because maybe you’d miss the meat. But I am doing it because of the animals, so it’s totally different.”

And despite the fact he might be buying more shoes this season, he’s really gung ho about synthetics.

“Payless Shoes,” Laraque emphasized. “They won’t last as long, but I’m not mistreating any animals, so it’s perfect.”

Not to mention, Payless has some eco friendly Zoe and Zac footwear for the ladies now.
