Vegetarian Star

Anne Hathaway attended a New York city premiere of Les Miserables wearing a pair of animal-friendly, non-leather boots designed by Tom Ford.

The shoes, described as anything from “bondage boots” to something that “resembled both a knee brace and shin guard” may not fit everyone’s description as a great fashion statement, but Kudos to both Hathaway and Ford for choosing materials that are kinder to animals.

Several photographs of Hathaway wearing the boots can be seen at Starpulse.

Jochem Zeitz, executive chair of PUMA SE who introduced vegetarians items in the office canteens said he has reduced his meat consumption by 80% over the years. Now he’s looking to lighten PUMA’s footprint by creating fashionable shoes that look good on both people and the environment.
