Vegetarian Star

Heather Mills‘ much talked about fashion line, Be@1, launched last week. The event took place at the Celebrity Catwalk charity in Hollywood Highlands. Be@1 takes used clothing and recycles it, helping to make Mother Earth a little more fashionable, ridding her of all the junk placed in her landfill trunk.

Heather states on her website:

“Society throws away over a million tones of clothing and textiles into the rubbish bins annually. Many of these items could be resold or remade into something new and exciting. This is why eco aware and fashion loving Heather had the idea to develop this new inspirational clothing line. The collection consists of women’s and menswear, designed for the assertive, fashionable and eco-conscious person. All the fabrics used in the pieces have been carefully sourced and remodeled into something unique and highly wearable. From a haute couture recycle lace white evening gown to a pair of high waisted trousers for the office, B@1 is about to show there is nothing trashy about recycling unwanted clothing!”

Be@1 will produce two collections per year for men, women, and children.

Fred Mascherino is one of several celebrities that has a pair of MacBeth vegan shoes named in his honor.

But Fred doesn’t think he’s the vegan shoe god and seems a little embarrassed knowing foot gear was designed with him in mind.

From eujacksonville.com:

“Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous [laughs]. Those things should be reserved for Michael Jordan. But I’ve been working with the Macbeth Shoe Company for many years. I always wore their shoes, I always liked what their company was about. And they’ve always had shoes that were vegan, including the glue so I could wear a cool shoe that didn’t have leather or animal products as a part of it. I was always pretty supportive of what they were doing and we were friends at this point and they said, “Oh, let’s do a shoe together,” and I think it was a pretty big success because the shoe that I did kinda caught on and I guess people liked it. It was a win-win thing for everybody.”

Fred says factory farming really opens his eyes about the effects of mass produced meat on the environment.

“My reasons for being vegan are definitely not against people who disagree and I’m definitely not against the farmer and his cow. It’s more about the whole factory industry and the unhealthy part of it. A lot of things changed when we started doing factory farming and I kinda just don’t want any part of that. I also do it for environmental reasons because even just eating less meat is one way you can actually help lower global warming.”

Stella McCartney just revealed she thinks her mom was one of the greatest in the world.

Not only does Stella admire Linda McCartney, but she aims to be just as free-spirited and compassionate about all life just like dear ol’ mom.

Stella told Harper’s Bazaar:

“She had a strong voice and was very ahead of her time. The connection she made between how people treat animals and the environment is proving to be very significant.”

Stella probably “borrowed” a few things from her mom’s closet now and then.

“I love the way my mother wore clothes. She used to always cut her own hair and wore very little make-up, and she just did things differently. She used to wear odd socks but then she also wore beautiful suits and little dresses with platform shoes. That is sort of how people dress now, so she was very modern and ahead of her time.”

Do you have a parent who influenced your veg lifestyle decisions tremendously?

Ah, the changing of the seasons.

Colored falling leaves, brisk temperatures, and a good excuse to buy a new leather-free handbag!

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney has a few goodies coming our for the fall, including the four featured here.

Starting from the top left are the Piercing Convert Shoulder Bag, The Piercing Tote, and The Appaloosa Shoulder Tote, and The Piercing Ruffel Satchel.

Stella’s bags are never at bargain prices (the ones featured above are in the $1,000 range), but she has her niche of fashion savvy fans willing to pay the price so animals don’t have too.

All of the above bags can be ordered through Bergdorf Goodman.

If you have the pocket book size for it, you should consider patronizing them, since they have their share of leather goods (Prada) on the site as well.

How else are we to encourage these guys to stock up on more hideless accessories?

Heather Mills must be one of those self-punishing workaholics.

Besides her charitable work with children in the Bronx, she recently opened her own vegan restaurant, V Bites, and took over the vegetarian food company Redwood Foods.

The line will launch August 27th at the Highlands Hollywood in association with the charity event Celebrity Catwalk.

Lady Gaga has been known for her choice of stage outfits, but this one really takes the cruelty-free cake.

The woman born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta recently made headlines with her Kermit the Frog outfit that she’s proud to say is fur free.

“The Kermit the Frog outfit is by an incredible designer by the name of Jean[-Charles] de Castelbajac, and he does a lot of museum art fashion pieces,” she said.

“I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”

Note: No Kermit the Frogs were harmed or killed in any way during the making of the outfit.
