John Bartlett Discusses Cruelty-Free Clothing With “Businessweek”
Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, September 10th, 2012 in Business, Fashion.
John Bartlett recently launched the Ambassador Collection–t-shirts benefiting Farm Sanctuary, one of the nation’s largest animal sanctuaries for abused and neglected farm animals.
A vegan who eliminated leather from his fashion collections a few years ago, Bartlett spoke to Businessweek about his success as a cruelty-free designer in the industry.
Businessweek: The clothes in your high fashion collection are cruelty free. What does that entail?
Bartlett: Cruelty free means that no animals are used in the product. Everything I work with is either plant based or synthetic.
For example, for the Fall collection, I created some really cool jackets from ultrasuede, which is a recycled micro fiber.
