Could Ginnifer Goodwin be the next spokesperson for Vionnet?

The actress recently cohosted a celebration for the brand at Saks Fifth Avenue with Ron Frasch, Matteo Marzotto and Virginia Smith, where she told WWD, “I would be very happy to be their international spokesman.”

Ginnifer obtained her custom made pair of vegan boots from the company, so she if comes on board, let’s hope her presence encourages more cruelty-free options for Vionnet fans.

Blake Lively wore a pair of thigh high faux leather Stella McCartney boots to the launch party of the book, You Know You Want It: Style Inspiration Confidence by Eric Daman.

Damon is the costume designer for Gossip Girl.

These boots look so snug and comfy, they must feel like second skin.

It’s great that Lively chose to wear Stella’s cruelty-free fashion, instead of taking another animal’s skin.

This completely makes up for Blair and Serena making fun of seitan months ago.

Wonder if Daman is just as ethical on the set of Gossip Girl.

Girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice, but what about vegan boots? How about potatoes and mashed cauliflower?

At least that’s what celebrity stylist Rachael Zoe’s assistant Brad said at a recent Stella McCartney fashion show the two were attending.

Fashionista landed at Stella’s Fall/Winter show and overheard lots of juicy info, including the fact that Rachael Zoe’s assistant needs to take lessons in vegan materials.

“What you don’t have is the only thing that kept the clothes from looking ten years older than Stella’s usually do – the full leg faux-leather boots. They had me gasping for air, prompted Rachel Zoe’s assistant Brad to say, “Bet they’re made from potatoes and mashed up cauliflower,” and will be every vegan’s dream answer to next season’s number one trend.”

But really, what are vegan boots made of?

Some leather-like boots are  made from PVC, which isn’t very kind to the environment, as it contains chlorine, which produces a chemical called dioxin during the manufacturing process that’s been linked to ailments, like asthma. To get around this, the best ethical designers use PU, or Polyurethane, a gentler synthetic.

There’s also polyester, which can be used in satin-looking materials.

The methods for producing vegan shoes are far less harmful to the planet than producing leather, which can’t degrade easily after being tanned. Plus, there’s all the land used to feed the livestock that could used for better purposes, like, plant crops. 

So there  you have it. A brief lesson on the origins of a vegan shoe. Yes, it would be nice if they were made of potatoes and cauliflower. Then all the toenail biters would have something to snack on.
