Vegetarian Star

Vegan shoe designer Elizabeth Olsen has her own slideshow going on at New York Magazine.

The pics feature several of Elizabeth’s designs like the Balance in Black and Red; Ultra Suede on the left and Brazil in Citron; Ultra Suede on the right.

Elizabeth’s been a vegetarian for 19 years and a vegan for the past 2 years.

“I wanted to be the example of stylishness being synonymous with being aware of where your item came from, what it’s made of, and its impact on the earth, animals, and people,” she said, of her decision to launch her collection.

And just cause they’re vegan, doesn’t mean they have to be plain or ugly.

“Why should something, because it is vegan or earth-friendly, always be in neutral colors, or a loose relaxed fit?”

The Telegraph was interviewing Chrissie Hynde when she revealed she was wearing a pair of Stella McCartney faux leather boots.

The price of a Stella shoe can reach up to seven, eight, and nine hundred dollars. Easy for a rock star like Chrissie, but maybe not so much for the rest of us who haven’t released new albums like Break Up The Concrete.

Don’t despair, as Chrissie says, “you can get the cheap junk at the market.”

Sure, cheap synthetic shoes are abundant. But then you have to worry about the chemicals involved in producing them and whether or not someone like your kid sister was gluing them together. And you thought choosing a pair of shoes was all about ensuring they didn’t give you blisters!

Elizabeth Olsen’s got some nice vegan boots for around $250, like the Thriller.

Price still not right? Chuck the boots altogether and pick up some Zoe and Zac shoes from Payless for under $30! They’re made with sustainable and recycled material and some profits go towards planting new trees.  What could be more beautiful, except of course, your feet in them?

We brought you the news that Pamela Anderson and Richie Rich have collaborated to create a line of vegan clothing under the brand MUSE.

Now, we’re learning more from Rich just how the line was envisioned.

Strangely enough, it was a visit to a craft store that spawned the idea.

“A few years ago in Vegas, she had a T-shirt line, so I styled her show,” Rich told New York magazine. “She sent me to Michael’s, a craft store, in a limousine, and she was like, ‘Doll up my line!’ And I did. Glitter, pom-poms, you name it.”

Don’t know if that means the new clothing line will be “glittery” or if the experience lit a light bulb in Rich’s head that made him think, “We should work together.”

Since Pamela is a staunch vegetarian, no fur will be  used in the collection, which Rich said was hard for him.

Hopefully, working with Pamela will rub off on the designer and he’ll see cruelty-free as an easier and much kinder choice in the future.

Vegetarian designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with Gap in the GapKids and babyGap division to offer more affordable designer baby clothing!

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to build on successful past collaborations with a world class design talent like Stella,” said Marka Hansen, President of Gap brand. “I’m looking forward to offering our GapKids and babyGap customers her unique interpretation of Gap’s casual American aesthetic. Her experience as a parent and designer are sure to delight both kids and parents alike.”

Stella cites her desire to create fashions that are more affordable than traditional designer wear, especially considering the current state of the economy.

“I believe that kids clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment given the current climate,” said McCartney.

Expect to see fur-free, leather free designs rolled out for your fashionista baby by the end of the year.

Mike Dirnt of Green Day has been busy in more than one studio lately.

Besides recording the band’s latest album, 21st Century Breakdown, Mike’s been plugging away at Macbeth’s vegan shoe headquarters, putting the finishing touches on his personally designed shoe, the 45 RPM.

Like most other Macbeth shoes, the 45 RPM is completely vegan. The style comes in both low top and high top varieties and are available at Journeys.com.

Vegan shoes are comprised of several materials that are either natural or synthetic, such as nylon or PVC, and often designed to imitate the look of leather. Even the glue holding the materials together is free of animal products.

Christian Bale said that although he had been a vegetarian since 7, he went on a meat eating rampage after viewing Life Is Beautiful.  But at least he’s sporting a nice animal rights shirt at the LAX airport.

Sea Shepherd was founded by Paul Watson, the same dude who runs the helm on the Animal Planet whale saving series Whale Wars.

According to green gossip site, Ecorazzi.com, Bale has been spotted in this shirt before.

Either he’s a Sea Shepherd lover or has a favorite shirt similar to Linus’ blanket that he just can’t do without.

We’re hoping for the first of the two options and that Christian cares about saving whales as much as Captain Watson and his Whale Wars crew does.

Now if we can just keep him on the veg path…

The screening of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Home went well at Stella McCartney‘s West Hollywood store.

Several eco-stars were there for the event, including Emily Deschanel, who gave the following advice for being greener:

“Reusing is as important as recycling. Don’t forget to bring your own bag when shopping. Keep one in the car. Buy natural products. I’m picking up an amazing belt of Stella’s that I bought. It’s non-leather. The tanning process is terrible for the environment. There are so many things to do…”

Of course we know our gal Emily’s vegan, which does more for the environment than taking all the cars off the road! Wonder why she didn’t bring it up?

Guests were served organic vegan food and sipped on organic Stella wine while watching the film.

If you weren’t on the Stella Home screening invite list (we know, it sucks), you can host a screening in your own home.

From now until June 14th, you can view the entire Home documentary from your computer.

It’s too beautiful for words, so all we can say is go “full screen” mode when watching!

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney will be hosting a screening of Home in her West Hollywood store on World Environment Day, June 5.

Home is the masterpiece of filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and features shots of the Earth taken from the air.

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Pantanal Wetlands near Brazil, and the Niger River in Mali are just a few of the shots taken of 54 countries in 217 days.

Several fashion gurus other than Stella are joining in the celebrated release of the film by offering limited edition sustainable items.

Gucci will feature an organic cotton T-shirt, Sergio Rossi a sustainable shoe called the “Eco Pump,” and Yves Saint Laurent organic cotton and tote bags.

Home is backed by PPR, the parent company of these luxury designer brands. A portion of all profits go to the environmental non-profit Goodplanet.org.
