Beyond the Hippie Look: Vegan Style by ‘W Magazine’
Groundbreaking movement in the fashion world this week! For the first time ever W Magazine wrote an article with an animal-friendly slant.
Senior Fashion Features Editor Dana Wood put together a cruelty-free collection of “The Best Vegan-friendly Accessories” for the online exclusive article. The list of 13 items features bags, shoes, makeup brushes, and more by top designers including Vivienne Westwood, Matt & Nat, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and others.
“It’s not easy to be a fashion-conscious vegan when every bag, belt and shoe seems to involve calfskin, suede or python,” writes Wood, who is personally passionate about good veg fashion.
The only problem? The cashmere dress by Stella McCartney is not vegan. Cashmere is a light-weight wool from the kashmir goat. Many people don’t know this, and many also falsely believe that Stella is a vegan designer - even though she regularly uses wool and silk - so I’ll let this one slide. But if the vegan feature becomes a regular occurrence, which this vegan really hopes it does, a little more fact checking will be needed.
All things considered, this article is very exciting to me as a stylish vegan. Thanks, W!
