Vegetarian Star

A recent episode of Project Runway with anti-fur fashion guru Tim Gunn highlighted a newly singled woman’s mission to make a fresh start in the most kindest of ways.

Divorcee Dress Challenge “Stephanie” asked Nicolas to take her wedding dress and turn it into something she could wear for everyday use.

But Stephanie wasn’t just looking to turn a train into a tube top. She wanted her outfit to be free from wool, leather, silk and fur.

The New York Post joked about Stephanie’s “cruelty-free” request.

“Tim sends in their divorcees. I think Tim just likes to Frenchify words whenever c’est possible. Gordana’s divorcee wants to attract a young ruffian of the street, Shirin’s divorcee wants to be a “Cher half-breed,” and Nicolas’ divorcee wants her new look to be cruelty free and preferably made out of organic granola. Nicolas can’t guarantee it will be cruelty-free, because having to deal with Nicolas is the cruelest joke of all.”

Yay for Stephanie!

With a heart like hers, she’s sure to make a great new start for herself.

Fearne Cotton admitted she has a fetish for handbags.

“Mulberry is my favourite handbag brand and I probably have 15 of them,” the self-confessed shopaholic admitted to Heat magazine. “I love their Bayswater bag – I’ve just ordered a new leopard-print one – and then a couple of those little Mables, some of their big carriers and some luggage.”

No one said you can’t indulge and consume your heart out every now and then, but should vegetarian Fearne really be picking up that Bayswater or Mables bag?

A search indicates many of the bags, if not all, are made from leather.

Besides taking an animal’s skin, the process that turns leather to a finished product involves toxic chemicals like formaldehyde.

Fearne should develop the shopaholic syndrome for vegan Matt & Nat handbags.

A night of vegan food, fashion and animal rights will take place in Toronto on Thursday October 22.

The party begins with a vegan dinner at the Ultra nightclub at 5 PM, INK Entertainment’s Feed Your Soul, which benefits the animal rights group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

The dinner will feature vegan dishes by Chef Chris Zielinksi and be hosted by Pamela Anderson and PETA’s senior vice president Dan Matthews, along with designer Richie Rich.

After the dinner, Rich will showcase his fashion label with Pamela Anderson, A*Muse, at the This is London nightclub.

As PETA’s number one pin up girl, it’s no surprise Pamela sought the opportunity to benefit the animal rights organization during the tour to promote the eco friendly clothing line, which consists of hoodies and zip ups, casual dresses, and beachwear.

Pamela’s tour will take place in major cities in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Tickets to the PETA benefit dinner are $100 and can be purchased by calling Ultra at 416.263.0330.

Stella McCartney is turning into Morrissey and dictating what her employees can eat on the job.

The web is circulating with stories that Stella bans tuna and other seafood from her offices because she doesn’t want people to think she’s eating animals.

“Sometimes, at lunchtime, I can really smell fish when people are eating, and then I’ll shout, ‘OK guys, enough fish.’ My argument is, if a journalist comes into our office and it stinks of fish, that’s weird.”

If that’s true, is Stella banning all meat from her offices? If not, shouldn’t she be?

Fellow Brit Morrissey prohibits any consumption of animal food while on tour and when an employee asked if fish were okay, he replied, “Sea food is sea life,” and the same rules applied.

Bet more vegs wished they could ban their co-workers from meat, especially when the office microwave starts churning at lunchtime.

Ew. Is that beef stew again?

“I find it astounding, because fashion is supposed to be about change – I mean, we’re supposed to be about cutting edge! I can only think they don’t care as much as people in other industries. So, yes, I think people in fashion are pretty heartless. Why on earth would they use fur and leather otherwise?

“There’s no excuse for fur in this day and age. Baby kids are boiled alive. Foxes are anally electrocuted. If that’s not heartless, what is?”

—-vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney, on the fashion industry’s archaic and cruel use of fur and leather in clothing.

Rock on, Stella. You tell ’em!

Rachel Zoe Faux Fur Vest

Although her assistant still thinks vegan shoes are made from mashed potatoes and cauliflower, Rachel Zoe at least knows fur vests should be made from synthetic material and not animal hide.

That’s why she’s designed these especially made for QVC faux fur vests.

These debuted at New York Fashion Week last month, and sell for under $130, featuring a wing collar and six hidden hook and eye closures.

You can view Rachel’s other faux fur designs at QVC.com.

Be sure to catch Rachel on QVC on Saturday, October 10 at 1PM ET for the Accessorizing With Rachel Zoe segment.
