Fur-free and otherwise ethical fashionistas will come out on the evening of September 22 for the Humane Society’s H-Couture fashion show meant to highlight cruelty-free men’s and women’s designer wear.

Vampire Diaries stars Paul Wesley and Torrey DeVitto will host the event featuring designs by John Bartlett, Charlotte Ronson and more.

“Fashion should be fun, and I don’t see how wearing animal fur can be anything other than cruel and unnecessary,” says DeVitto. Wesley added, “We both support events that promote compassion for animals.”

Watch the clips below to hear why some of the event’s featured designers chose to be a part of the event.

John Bartlett recently launched the Ambassador Collection–t-shirts benefiting Farm Sanctuary, one of the nation’s largest animal sanctuaries for abused and neglected farm animals.

A vegan who eliminated leather from his fashion collections a few years ago, Bartlett spoke to Businessweek about his success as a cruelty-free designer in the industry.

Businessweek: The clothes in your high fashion collection are cruelty free. What does that entail?

Bartlett: Cruelty free means that no animals are used in the product. Everything I work with is either plant based or synthetic.

For example, for the Fall collection, I created some really cool jackets from ultrasuede, which is a recycled micro fiber.

“Being brought up on an organic farm and having a different way of looking at life comes into everything that I do. From day one I didn’t want to be a hypocrite. What we hope to do is to isolate out a mill to just start the process, one that we will work with on a daily basis. The whole idea of improving one’s environmental footprint in this industry is you have to work with people.”

—Stella McCartney to Vanity Fair, on the issue of producing environmentally conscious clothing. Stella’s brand has recently partnered with the Natural Resources Defense Councils’ “Clean By Design” a program meant to highlight ways to reduce pollution and make the most of energy resources at one of her clothing mills.
