Leona Lewis Wants Affordable Vegan Fashion

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 24th, 2008 in Fashion, Female Musicians, Female Singers.

2008 American Music Awards - Show

Clothing is expensive enough. When you throw in designer labels and aim to be cruelty-free the price jumps so much, it makes you want to take a sewing class and make your own.

Leona Lewis wants to change that and expressed her desire to do so to Sunday Express’ S.

“I love Stella McCartney – but her clothes are very expensive,” Lewis said of the eco-friendly fashion designer. “I think people need a more affordable option.”

“I’m trying to find the right companies to work with, sourcing different things and talking to creative teams.”

“I would love to promote an affordable line of non-leather bags and shoes.”

Pamela Anderson Signs Pact With The Leather Devil

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 21st, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion, Not So Vegetarian.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label - LFW Spring Summer 2009 - Runway

Pamela Anderson has been one of the most outspoken celebrities for vegetarianism and against animal cruelty. Therefore, it’s quite a surprise to learn she has singed a deal to be the face of fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.

The designer has stopped using fur in her creations. However, she has a long way to go before she can call herself cruelty-free. Leather is still being used to dress the svelte models who walk her runway and the same fashion designs will make their way to the consumer, such as the fuchsia leather suit from the spring 2009 collection.

Some vegetarians have different standards when it comes to eating versus clothing, but since Pamela Anderson has been so pro-vegan, working with PETA, protesting against Kentucky Fried Chicken, and calling out a certain singer for the clothing she chose to wear, it’s not something you would expect from her.

She even has expressed a desire to design her own line of vegan shoes, after finding out one of her favorite kind, Ugg boots, contain sheepskin.

Is it possible she just doesn’t know?

Shortly after she began taping “Big Brother” in Australia, it was revealed that KFC, a company she protested against so heavily, was a sponsor for the show. Pammie claimed to know nothing of it. Or did she?

Money sometimes makes you forgetful. The Vivienne Westwood deal is worth six figures. Still, other vegetarian stars don’t have problems with dementia. Leona Lewis turned down over a million to avoid being associated with a store that sold fur.

Linda McCartney Food Sales Give Family Reason To Celebrate

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 in Fashion, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Live 8 London - Stage

The late Linda McCartney designed a range of vegetarian frozen meals that remain with her family just as much as her spirit. When the McCartneys are together for a family event, they say they often eat the Vegetarian Roast as a meal.

They have much to celebrate, as according to the Dereham Times, Linda’s food range has experienced a 20% increase in sales every year. In a tough and unpredictable economy, it’s job security for the more than 180 workers in the Hain Frozen Food factory located at Fakenham.

Ironically, it may be the tough economy that’s helping to boost sales, thus providing job security. Meat can be expensive, especially in comparison to the nuts, legumes, and pastas that are available to those eating vegetarian.  Some who give financial advice recommend even meat eaters go vegetarian for one day of the week in order to save money.

An article in Divine Caroline listed 19 of the 20 healthiest foods under $1 as vegetarian, and 17 of them were vegan, including protein rich garbanzo beans, tofu, and nuts!

Do you know of any veg foods/vegetarian combinations of food that are cheap yet tasty?

Leona Lewis Designing Leather Free Shoes And Bags

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 in Fashion, Female Musicians, Female Singers.

Glamour dinner party held at the Sanderson Hotel in London

Talk has been going on for the past several months about Leona Lewis having a cruelty-free, vegan fashion line in the works. Now we know what she’s designing.

According to the UK Mirror, she’ll be giving Stella McCartney some competition by offering a line of vegan shoes, as well as bags.

Lewis is a strict vegetarian and refused to perform at a Harrods department store seasonal kick off because the store sells fur. She even went so far as to say something was wrong with those who continue to wear fur despite being educated about the cruelty to animals involved in harvesting it.

Her philosophy on using animals for clothing is pretty simple: “I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat animals, so I won’t wear them.”

And now, many of her fans won’t either.

An Evening With The Hosts Of

Move over Oprah. You’re not the only one who can give out cool gifts to your audience members who just happen to plan their trip to Chicago during the right week.

The divas at the daytime talk show, “The View,” Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sherri Shepherd treated their fans in the audience on Wednesday to a $150 gift card to ebags.com to pick out a Big Buddha Handbag.

Big Buddha’s bags come in a variety of colors and styles, but best of all, some of them, like the Bonnie Bag are VEGAN, made with synthetic PVC to make them look like leather.

Sigh…If only you could plan a trip to Los Angeles at the right time.

Leilani Munter’s a smart gal (Biology Degree, sure enough!) who served as a Hollywood stunt double before becoming a professional race car driver who mans, or shall we say (wo)mans No. 57 SMART Papers Dallara in the Firestone Indy Lights, which is a part of IndyCar racing.

The self-described vegetarian hippie chick has the same problem finding vegan clothing as actress Lisa Edelstein of House.

On her website, a fan who was also a racer wanted to know where to get non-leather shoes for racing. Leilani responded that she doesn’t know of any currently, and unfortunately, the only time she has to wear leather is when she’s behind the speed demon wheel.

Ah, she feels the pain of lots of vegheads out there trying to keep meat off the feet as well as the fork. But she has a good excuse: Leather has a natural fire resistance, something needed in case of a crash on the track.

Getting protection you need from going around in circles at 200 mph is one thing. Looking cute on the town is another. For all of you who drive 65, check out what Natalie Portman or Frank Iero strut around in.
