Vegetarian Star

All of you, who decorated your dorm room with Todd Oldham furnishings a few years ago, listen up! Did you know that the maker of ever so affordable fashion is vegan? Well, you should at least know the items you’re purchasing with his tag are.

Todd Oldham is a fashion designer that has used his brilliance to create clothing and furnishings without the use of leather or other animal products. He’s also vegan and an animal rights activist and supports other humane causes, such as housing programs for those living with HIV and Aids.

He was fired after 3 months of working in the alterations department at a Polo Ralph Lauren boutique in Dallas, but then decided he could do better and well…the rest is history.

Oldham currently oversees clothing design for Old Navy, a division of Gap.

We think pop star Leonis Lewis should be giving him a call for a few pointers as she is in the beginnings of starting her own cruelty free fashion line.

Gotta run now. Old Navy’s got a clearance sale that ends tonight!

First a three week vegan stint, now Oprah Winfrey’s sporting animal free bags!

The big “O” made an appearance at the Emmys at Nokia Theatre and stopped to grab some goodies at a few booths while she was there. According to Eonline, Miss Winfrey chose to make a fashion statement by picking a vegan bowling bag designed by Stella McCartney! The actual design was a LeSportsac’s in purple-gray.

To take a look at some of the other designs Miss McCartney offers, go here. Winfrey also picked up some jeans that are suppose to fit you perfectly after you give a computer some measurements and blah, blah, blah, but we thought it’d be best to cover mainly the most important news. Now everyone go out and be an Oprah following fanatic and buy this limited edition and cruelty free bag!

A lot of internet talk has been going on about Leona Lewis releasing her own line of cruelty free and vegan clothing. It’s finally official. The British “Bleeding Love,” star will do what Natalie Portman did and what Pamela Anderson wants to do now that she thinks Ugg Boots are Ugg-ly because they contain sheepskin.

On a recent video blog, she said, “I don’t wear leather or any animal products, so I want to bring out a line . . . I’m kind of the real beginning stages of it. I’m not sure when it will be out, but I hope very soon.”

Let’s hope they are as affordable as they are vegan so everyone can enjoy the pleasure of walking around in their own, and not another animal’s skin.

Forgive us, for we have Eco-sinned as well.

We’ve been covering the veg beat in politics lately, including Obama’s desire to get more veggie for the children, Laura Bush’s organic obsession, and Chelsea Clinton’s vegan chef experience while she was in living in the White House. Lauren Bush, is the niece of President George W. Bush, but she really has more to claim to fame that this familial association. At the age of 22, she became a humanitarian with the U.N. World Food Programme, she’s launched an environmentally friendly clothing line, and she has been a vegetarian since the age of four! Most of us barely knew how to pronounce most of the food we ate then. The fashion model and designer basically made the decision after learning what she was eating was an animal. She tries to be as green as possible, but she’s not a saint. Watch the video to hear her reveal her “Eco-sin.”

“I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat animals, so I won’t wear them.”

“I used to bring non-kosher food in my lunch bag and my mom would make me lie and say I had tuna when really it was non-kosher chicken salad. I hated that, so I said, ‘I’m a vegetarian.’ It was my out.”

—-Natalie Portman, actress and designer of vegan shoes, in an interview with Live News

Following the footsteps (no pun intended) of fellow veg sister Natalie Portman, Pamela Anderson is interested in designing her own line of vegan shoes. Since discovering one of her favorite pairs of shoes, Ugg boots, is made from sheepskin, she’s determined she and other vegetarians can do better.

“Like a lot of women around L.A, I always wore Ugg boots until I realized what they are made from,” she said.

“I don’t wear them any more. Instead I’m designing my own range of animal-friendly shoes. My goal is to make sure every mom in Malibu has a pair of boots that are not sheep.”

She’ll definitely have a vegan fanbase for the shoes when they eventually come out. And hopefully, with her celebrity status, many non-veg feet fashionistas will realize you can look great in your own (and not another animal’s) skin.

Brigitte Bardot has held a long career as an actress and former fashion model in addition to being a champion of animal rights.

She recently wrote a letter to Mr. Hubert Heiss, Ambassador of Austria in France, in response to the imprisonment of Austrian animal rights activist. Here are a few excerpts:

“You are aware of the great emotion, even indignation, of European citizens after the arbitrary arrest on May 21, when 10 Austrian animal advocates were imprisoned in an opacity worthy of a totalitarian regime.”

“Austrian organizations were scandalized by the violence of the police intervention and the seizure, in private apartments and offices, of many work files and computers.”

“These methods, unworthy of a democratic country, made Amnesty International react, and today I make a point of adding my voice to the many protests.”

“It is true that for a few months already animals advocates have been presented like dangerous terrorists, even criminals. This manipulation of public opinion is shocking, outrageous and more than misplaced.”

“Yes, our actions do disturb some economic interests, but is that a reason to soil and muzzle those who are committed to help beings without defense?”

“Violence is not our reality, on the contrary, we fight it with determination. Violence is in the blind, cruel and daily exploitation of millions of animals degraded to consumer goods, to research tools, and being denied their sensitive nature.”
