Stella McCartney Bans Fish From Office

Stella McCartney is turning into Morrissey and dictating what her employees can eat on the job.

The web is circulating with stories that Stella bans tuna and other seafood from her offices because she doesn’t want people to think she’s eating animals.

“Sometimes, at lunchtime, I can really smell fish when people are eating, and then I’ll shout, ‘OK guys, enough fish.’ My argument is, if a journalist comes into our office and it stinks of fish, that’s weird.”

If that’s true, is Stella banning all meat from her offices? If not, shouldn’t she be?

Fellow Brit Morrissey prohibits any consumption of animal food while on tour and when an employee asked if fish were okay, he replied, “Sea food is sea life,” and the same rules applied.

Bet more vegs wished they could ban their co-workers from meat, especially when the office microwave starts churning at lunchtime.

Ew. Is that beef stew again?

Meatless Mouthful: Stella McCartney Calls Fashion “Heartless”

Stella McCartney at 'The Corner' in Berlin, Germany

“I find it astounding, because fashion is supposed to be about change – I mean, we’re supposed to be about cutting edge! I can only think they don’t care as much as people in other industries. So, yes, I think people in fashion are pretty heartless. Why on earth would they use fur and leather otherwise?

“There’s no excuse for fur in this day and age. Baby kids are boiled alive. Foxes are anally electrocuted. If that’s not heartless, what is?”

—-vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney, on the fashion industry’s archaic and cruel use of fur and leather in clothing.

Rock on, Stella. You tell ’em!

Meatless Mouthful: Stella McCartney Runs Entire Ethical Gamut

“We often say that we are not perfect, but at the same time, more and more people like to talk about this side of our brand. There are definitely other aspects to consider. There are organic fabrics, low impact dyes. My fashions are mainly made in Italy, so child labor is not an issue for us. We work a lot on fair trade. The first question that comes up when we open a store is ‘Can we use wind power?’ Sometimes we can, sometimes we can’t. Because it’s a mindset, it comes quite naturally.”

—-Stella McCartney, in an interview with Above Magazine, on the ethical issues besides not using leather or fur, on maintaining an ethical fashion line.

Stella McCartney Enjoys Animal-Free Clothing Demand With Gucci

Recession? Ha! What recession?

The demand for Stella McCartney‘s leather free items from Stella McCartney Ltd. has caused her sales to soar and given Stella reason to increase her salary by 60% thanks to a 70% raise in profits.

According to This Is London, fashion insiders say lifelong vegetarian Stella’s reputation for refusing to use fur and leather in her designs, which include clothing, shoes and handbags, and the demand for cruelty-free items is responsible for the financial celebration.

Stella left a French label, Chloe in 2001 to set up her fashion label with Gucci, but didn’t make profits until 2006.

It was rumored that the big wigs at Gucci were growing impatient with the slower than expected success.

Bet all are happy in the executive office now.

It pays to stick with your values.

Anna Wintour, Vogue Put Vegan Shoes On Fur Wearing Model

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 in Fashion, Fur.

The September Issue chronicling Vogue‘s biggest edition of all time-September 2007-is now playing in select theatres.

The October 2008 issue featured an anti-fur activist’s nightmare and fur loving Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour‘s dream come true.

The concept “Women as Goats,” looked even sillier than it sounds as it featured women on top mountains looking “wild” with furs in Mongolian goat, coyote, Tibetan lamb and fox.

Didn’t know goats were so catty and competitive as it looks as if one goat is trying to steal the other goat’s shoe.

Don’t forget the vegan shoes to go with the look.

Yes, one of the models wears Stella McCartney platform Mary Janes.

Wonder if vegetarian Stella saw this and got as fumed as she did when a Hockley model wore one of her bras with a fur coat?

Click on the picks to view the goats up close and read the caption crediting Stella’s shoes.
