McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Green Carpet

“If I point my finger at someone, saying, “You should be a vegetarian,” they’re just going to get annoyed…There is definitely a risk [of] alienating people. Maybe one day a week, consider what you are doing. We’re saying, do this for your personal health and in the process you help animals and you help the environment.”

—-musician Moby, at the Meat Free Monday campaign launch. Celebrity attendees included Paul McCartney and his daughters Stella and Mary, Yoko Ono, and Kelly Osbourne.

12th Annual ACE Awards: Accessories Council Honors Fashion Influencers

The Telegraph was interviewing Chrissie Hynde when she revealed she was wearing a pair of Stella McCartney faux leather boots.

The price of a Stella shoe can reach up to seven, eight, and nine hundred dollars. Easy for a rock star like Chrissie, but maybe not so much for the rest of us who haven’t released new albums like Break Up The Concrete.

Don’t despair, as Chrissie says, “you can get the cheap junk at the market.”

Sure, cheap synthetic shoes are abundant. But then you have to worry about the chemicals involved in producing them and whether or not someone like your kid sister was gluing them together. And you thought choosing a pair of shoes was all about ensuring they didn’t give you blisters!

Elizabeth Olsen’s got some nice vegan boots for around $250, like the Thriller.

Price still not right? Chuck the boots altogether and pick up some Zoe and Zac shoes from Payless for under $30! They’re made with sustainable and recycled material and some profits go towards planting new trees.  What could be more beautiful, except of course, your feet in them?

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Paul McCartney has said in the past that everyone should at least have a Meat Free Monday, or one day of the week where meat isn’t consumed to lessen the impact of the industry on the planet.

Now the whole McCartney family is getting in on the game, with daughters Mary and Stella backing dear ol’ dad.

The family has been giving Meat Free Monday a lot of press interviews lately, including one with Sky News, where Paul made an attempt to crack a cow fart joke by saying, “A cow walks into a bar…”

Glad he wasn’t able to finish it.

Cows passing gas in the fields are responsible for more greenhouse emissions than cars on the roads.

Stella McCartney And Gap Launching Kids And Baby Collection

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 in Fashion.

Opening Of The New Contemporary Art Centre - Francois Pinault Foundation

Vegetarian designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with Gap in the GapKids and babyGap division to offer more affordable designer baby clothing!

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to build on successful past collaborations with a world class design talent like Stella,” said Marka Hansen, President of Gap brand. “I’m looking forward to offering our GapKids and babyGap customers her unique interpretation of Gap’s casual American aesthetic. Her experience as a parent and designer are sure to delight both kids and parents alike.”

Stella cites her desire to create fashions that are more affordable than traditional designer wear, especially considering the current state of the economy.

“I believe that kids clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment given the current climate,” said McCartney.

Expect to see fur-free, leather free designs rolled out for your fashionista baby by the end of the year.

Screening Of Home At Stella McCartneys Store - Arrivals

The screening of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Home went well at Stella McCartney‘s West Hollywood store.

Several eco-stars were there for the event, including Emily Deschanel, who gave the following advice for being greener:

“Reusing is as important as recycling. Don’t forget to bring your own bag when shopping. Keep one in the car. Buy natural products. I’m picking up an amazing belt of Stella’s that I bought. It’s non-leather. The tanning process is terrible for the environment. There are so many things to do…”

Of course we know our gal Emily’s vegan, which does more for the environment than taking all the cars off the road! Wonder why she didn’t bring it up?

Guests were served organic vegan food and sipped on organic Stella wine while watching the film.

If you weren’t on the Stella Home screening invite list (we know, it sucks), you can host a screening in your own home.

From now until June 14th, you can view the entire Home documentary from your computer.

It’s too beautiful for words, so all we can say is go “full screen” mode when watching!

Tomorrow is World Environment Day!

There’s no question that vegetarianism is kinder to Mother Earth than any other diet, as raising livestock emits more pollution than all the cars on the roads!

Yann Arthus-Bertrand‘s “Home” showcases the bad and the beautiful in one documentary. Scenic photographs of pastures and oceans taken from the sky, as well as the smog and pollution mankind has created during the past several decades.

“In 50 years, in a single lifetime, the Earth has been more radically changed than by all previous generations of humanity,” states the film.

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney will host a screening of the film at her West Hollywood store tomorrow.

The film is narrated in two versions, English by Glenn Close, and Spanish by Selma Hayek.

Singer Pink To Kanye West: Shut The Fur Up!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 in Female Singers.

Stella McCartney: Paris Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear A/W 09

The fur’s about to fly between singer Pink and Kanye West.

Kanye showed less than good manners while attending a fashion show hosted by vegetarian designer Stella McCartney when he insisted on talking about fur. Oh, and did we mention, Stella’s vegetarian dad, Paul McCartney and PETA vice president Dan Matthews were present too? Don’t forget that Pink is also vegetarian.

Smooth, Kanye. Real smooth.

“Kanye West is the person p**sing me off right now,” Pink said. 

“I was at Stella McCartney’s Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and Kanye West.”

“The entire time Kanye is going, ‘They need more fur in this show’. He just wouldn’t shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney! I was just so grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot!'”

And who wants a Kanye pelt?

“There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney will be hosting a screening of Home in her West Hollywood store on World Environment Day, June 5.

Home is the masterpiece of filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and features shots of the Earth taken from the air.

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Pantanal Wetlands near Brazil, and the Niger River in Mali are just a few of the shots taken of 54 countries in 217 days.

Several fashion gurus other than Stella are joining in the celebrated release of the film by offering limited edition sustainable items.

Gucci will feature an organic cotton T-shirt, Sergio Rossi a sustainable shoe called the “Eco Pump,” and Yves Saint Laurent organic cotton and tote bags.

Home is backed by PPR, the parent company of these luxury designer brands. A portion of all profits go to the environmental non-profit Goodplanet.org.
