Vegetarian Star

Ah, gossip.

No one ever said all of it was true.

As we speculated, Stella McCartney has informed the press that she has no knowledge of a fashion line collaboration between her and Leona Lewis.

“I’ve never heard anything about it – it’s news to me!” Stella told Grazia.

We have heard, however, that Stella is doing a Spring collection for her children’s line with Baby Gap and Gapkids.

Look for leather free spring wear for the little ones in March 2010.

You learn to crawl before you walk and the latest tabloid news is that Leona Lewis will be collaborating with another vegetarian designer to launch her fashion line before starting one of her own.

According to The Daily Mirror, Leona and Stella McCartney were seen at a charity event together.

“Leona and Stella get on like a house on fire. They met at the recent Children In Need charity show at London’s Royal Albert Hall.”

“They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The line would be very animal friendly.”

Of course, if we had a dollar for every time a British tabloid printed a story that stretched the truth a little…

Judging from the sources, it looks as if Leona and Stella were just having a good chat.

Another source told the media Leona said:

“I’m on a mission. I’d love to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable. I think more needs to be available and not so expensive.”

“There’s so much I want to do. I’ve always wanted to have my own fashion line, and that’s something I want to focus on next year.”

Whether or not Leona and Stella are actually doing a fashion line together is questionable.

But based on Leona’s history of goal driven success and love for animals, we’re certain she’ll be at least starting her own.

Stella McCartney is about to launch her collection of children’s clothing this November in the UK, France, Japan, United States and Canada, as a collaboration between Gap Kids and Baby Gap.

As expected, Stella’s collections for the little ones will contain no fur or leather. However, there will be wool.

Stella herself is a mother of three children, but intends to stick with adult fashions as this will be a one time only collection.

When designing the collection, Stella thought of both durability and comfort.

“Perfect little kids are not really very me,” Stella said, at a W magazine photo shoot. “I wanted to have a bit of realness. When you’re talking about this kind of accessibility and children it’s really important that you feel comfortable throwing the lot of it in the washing machine and not being too precious with it.”

“To me, the fabric is so important, especially on a child, as they are so aware when things are scratchy.”

The collection will range from $14-$128 and will feature everything from blankets to sweaters to military jackets for boys and girls.

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?

“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!

“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.

Treehugger.com has written up a post titled “6 Green Celebrity Product Lines We Can’t Get Enough Of.”

Two of the product lines are produced by veggie stars Ed Begley Jr. and Stella McCartney.

Here is a description of the glass and window cleaner from Begley’s Best.com:

“Begley’s Best contains aqueous detergents and surfactants derived from natural feedstock, complexing agents and food grade certified colorant. It is certified as a biological nutrient by MBDC. ”

In addition, it says the glass cleaner “won’t streak or leave residues,” which might be a downside for you bird lovers (ever watched those commercials where the birds keep running into windows? Wait, not funny. Veg blogging social faux pas)

The all purpose cleaner contains “extracts of pine, maize, fermented sugar cane roots, and olive seeds.” Sounds like it smells heavenly.

Besides Stella McCartney’s clothing and shoe line, the vegetarian fashion designer offers CARE, a line of organic skin products that keep the parabens, petrochemicals, and artificial fragrances that send you to the allergist out.
