Leona Lewis‘ fashion line may have hit a little bump.

Though the singer still has plans to have a clothing and shoes brand created, it’s been difficult finding ethical and vegetarian friendly supplies.

“I’m trying to make that happen as soon as I can,” Lewis told UK Vogue.

“It’s a challenge – mostly with shoes – as I don’t wear any leather and am very ethical about what I wear.”

Despite the challenges, Leona’s love of both animals and fashion will most likely give her the motivation to continue to pursue the clothing line that Leona wishes to be both trendy and affordable.

“I really enjoy fashion and I love being creative. I work with a couple of stylists but I love fashion so am always looking online and in magazines for inspiration,” she said.

ELLE Style Awards 2010 - Arrivals

Leona Lewis is about to embark on her first ever headline tour and although she’s a little worried about getting homesick, she’s already packing her bags with her favorite veggie comfort foods.

“The worst thing is missing home. Like anyone who has to travel for their work, you do get a bit homesick sometimes. So I travel with my PG Tips tea and my baked beans.”

By eating low fat, high fiber and high protein plant foods like beans, Leona doesn’t have to worry much about looking good for her audience.

She told new! magazine, “I think every woman feels under pressure to look a certain way, and women do it to other women – which seems so bizarre. I want to look good, but being healthy is my main thing. I want to promote being healthy in your own body shape.”

Is Simon Cowell giving up mincemeat for Leona Lewis?

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Bleeding Love singer has convinced X Factor and American Idol‘s most cantankerous judge to support Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Mondays campaign.

And it sounds like Leona has Simon already eating tofu from the palm of her hand.

“Anything I ask Simon to get involved in regarding my charity and environmental concerns he always does. He’s cool like that.”

Meanwhile, Leona is spreading the word about vegetarianism at work.

“I’ve banned meat from all photo shoots to the tour itself simply because I don’t support the meat industry.”

Simon’s mother, Julie Cowell, reports her son is getting serious with his girlfriend.

Julie told Britain’s Hello magazine, “I haven’t seen the ring yet, but I do believe they will get engaged. But if you’d asked me this three weeks ago, I would have said, ‘Absolutely not!”

Will there soon be a wedding with vegan cake after the ceremony?

Leona Lewis Not Shy About Fur And Animal Rights

Leona Lewis attends the Brit Awards

Leona Lewis looks as sweet as agave syrup, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she can easily be pushed around, especially when it comes to her beliefs.

She told Smooth Radio, “That’s a big misconception. I think that a lot of people are like ‘she’s shy, she’s very timid’. Once people get to know me they know that that’s actually not true. I am very opinionated. I stand up for what I believe.”

Like not believing in selling herself out for fur, as she explained to Smooth Radio about her decision to turn down a opening a sale for a department store that sold fur.

“Yeah they did offer me money to open the sale but I said no because they stock fur. They’re one of the few places that still do it. I just think it’s so backwards, it’s very evil and cruel. I definitely stand up for what I believe in when it comes to animal rights.”

Her most recent act of activism was getting the officials at the BRIT awards to change the menu.

Keep it up, Leona!

Leona Lewis took to the Twitter to slam the Brit Awards for wanting to serve foie gras at the celebration.

“I was outraged 2 hear that the Brit Awards were planning 2 serve foie-gras at the ceremony. They hav now removed it from the menu,well done!”

This smart gal wanted to educate her fans on what foie gras really was.

“In case u didn’t no, Foie-gras is duck that is forced fed in a sickening cruel process and is banned in the uk.”

While the BRITS took forced fed duck off the menu, there’s still room for improvement.

“The BRITS menu sadly won’t b ‘cruelty free’ however it is still a major victory & they are taking an ethical stance! Well done and thank u”

Leona Lewis says seeing people wear fur makes her stomach churn.

“When I see people wearing fur it makes me so sick. Especially when I see young singers doing it – that sickens me.”

Being such an animal lover, you can imagine how she felt when stylists tried to throw animal attire on her for a photo shoot.

“When I rocked up to my first photo shoot they had feathers and fur there and everything in despise,” she said to Live magazine, according to Angry Ape. “I had to make it so clear that I just do not go there.”

Leona Lewis Mum Cooks The Best Vegetarian Food

67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

Not long ago, Leona Lewis was reported to be stuck in a hotel with nothing to eat but cheese sandwiches.

However, her recent interview with the Mail Online showed she experienced a significant food upgrade.

At the request of her management, Leona received a “well-grilled tofu, grilled asparagus, steamed broccoli and a side of soy sauce.”

At home, Leona is all about having someone do the cooking for her.

“I get takeaways for tea, or beans on toast. I don’t like bread that much. I get Chinese – it’s so much effort to cook.”

The best restaurant, of course, is mom’s kitchen.

“My mum always cooks; she babies me.”

Any chance of Leona hiring mom as her on the road personal veggie chef?
