Stella McCartney Addidas Glow In The Dark

Love running in the dark and want to improve your visibility for safety reasons?

Stella McCartney has designed a set of glow in the dark sportswear items that features running shoes, shorts and more.

“Running is one of our most popular categories and for me to make it have its own point of view is really key,” said McCartney. “I think that we did it this season in a direct way by looking at glow-in-the-dark. When you are running in an urban environment, you need to feel safe, when people can see you coming and stand out, especially in winter when it gets dark earlier. But at the same time we used it on a leopard print, so it’s not so masculine and graphic.”

As would be expected from the vegetarian designer, Stella’s glow in the dark running shoes, priced at around $140, come completely leather-free.

Stella McCartney is proving once again she’s an ethical leader in the fashion industry by proposing to design the hats worn by the Queen’s guards, according to The Telegraph. The hats are traditionally made from bearskin, but PETA is set to meet with Peter Luff, minister for defence equipment, support and technology, to discuss a faux alternative they say meets rigorous standards for waterproofing and warmth.

The technology that could make this happen is called Bear28.

“I’ve been working on this with Peta for a few years now and am really happy with the final product, as I hope the MoD will be when they see it,” McCartney said.

Stella McCartney "Horse In Daisies"

Stella McCartney has designed another article of clothing to benefit the McCartney family Meat-Free Monday campaign, designed to encourage people to eat vegetarian once a week to lessen the impact raising livestock for food has on the environment.

This t-shirt features a print from Stella’s mother, the late Linda McCartney, who was also a champion of vegetarianism and more than likely responsible for the family adopting the ethics.

This Dish is Vegetarian reports the shirts will be launched this month in Stella’s store in Bruton Street, London. It is also available online for $215. A portion of the proceeds will support the Meat Free Monday.

Stella McCartney has been chosen as the creative director for the British Olympic Team!

Stella’s title means she’ll be overseeing everything the athletes wear, as well as the fan wear. Her partnership with the Olympic brand Team GB marks the first time a fashion designer will be responsible for the attire of the entire British team, including for the 2012 London Games.

Stella called her role, “an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” and her words may be more than sentiment for other fashion designers.

No other designer has been granted involvement with the Olympic games at such a high level, the closest coming to the honor being Ralph Lauren being responsible for the opening ceremony outfits for team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

“I love Loyale! I wear their tops a lot, and they have great everyday pieces, which I just adore. Bahar Shahpar has beautiful skirts and dresses. Other labels I like are Organic by John Patrick (another great label for everyday pieces), Linda Loudermilk (the mother of green design can be very inventive), and EcoSkin for casual dresses.  For shoes, I love Beyond Skin, they have a wonderfully huge selection of shoes, I specifically love the vintage-y looking pieces. Olsenhaus is a new line I’m just loving. I’m obsessed with the holographic shoes! And then of course, Stella McCartney is the first big designer not to use leather. Her shoes are expensive but so worth it. They’re very well-made. Also, Cri de Coeur makes some great boots.”

Stella McCartney is known as the fashion designer in the famous family that launched their Meat Free Monday campaign in the UK aimed at getting people to eat less meat to save the environment. But lately, Mary McCartney has put her artistic talents behind clothing, creating a 100% organic cotton t-shirt that benefits an orphanage in India.

Stella McCartney debuted her Spring collection in the same building where Jonathan Horowitz’s “Go Vegan” display is housed–the Gavin Brown’s Art Gallery. Coincidence?

The vegetarian designer who shuns fur and leather in her fashions, said she decided to embellish a little this season, going with more bright colors and prints on items like cotton jackets.

“I just love spring,” Stella said, according to the New York Times. “I find it so hopeful and so uplifting, as far as seasons go. Last season my collection was so devoid of prints, so for spring I really wanted to make a statement.”

A Van Leeuwen Ice Cream truck was present to provide treats and the ice cream company has a rich tradition of sustainable and animal friendly practices.

Persia White has an exclusive interview with Radar Online where she dishes the dirt about vegan fashion.

The hardest part about going vegan was finding non-leather shoes at first, but Persia soon found out there are plenty of animal free alternatives to replace the ones she gave away.

“At first Leather was hard, because of giving away all of my shoes,” Persia says. “Lately, it’s changed. There is a world that is growing and expanding that is cruelty-free designers!”

Some of Persia’s favorite designers include Costume National, Melissa Plastic Shoes and Stella McCartney.
