With the rise of the environmentally conscious consumer and veganism, fashion brands have looked for new sustainable fashion trends. Or at least, products that can be marketed as green. So, is vegan leather actually green, or is its environmental impact equal to - or worse - than real leather?

Arsenal star Hector Bellerin sits down with Poet and Vuj to discuss everything from his vegan diet, his interest in fashion, life at Arsenal under new coach Unai Emery and more.

A behind-the-scenes of the styling of vegan TV show Plant Based By Nafsika. Featuring ethical fashion looks styled by Address Chic's Shruti Jain using the best of vegan clothing, jewelry, accessories, bags and shoes curated by our team. The TV show host Nafsika partnered with Address Chic to make the second season of PBN more glamorous. The idea is to banish the stereotype that ethical fashion is dreary and show the stylish side of vegan fashion.

The third episode of the second season has Shruti Jain as a guest on the fashion segment of the show. In the segment, she presents four vegan fashion looks - sexy, stylish, chic and high fashion modeled by the top vegan fashion bloggers and models in New York.

Watch the show live on Wednesday 9th August 2017 on FYI channel at 7.30am (A&E network). It will later be also available on YouTube.

Shruti Jain is the co-founder of Address Chic, a stylist, educator and ethical fashion writer who has worked in the sustainable fashion space for over 3 years. A lifelong vegetarian and now an ardent vegan, Shruti strongly believes that style should never be at the cost of someone's life. She is the curator of Address Chic online vegan fashion and beauty store that is home to some of the best ethical fashion brands from around the world.

I created this Ethical Vegan Fashion Lookbook to show that you can look great and stay "on-trend" while being an ethical consumer.

Today I'm sharing my winter to spring eco and vegan capsule wardrobe essentials!

OPEN ME!

Want in on a little secret?

Most post days I spend so much time in front of a screen, laboring away, that I almost always end up baking something when I finish. In order to celebrate with something delicious? Sure. But also to have something manual to do that doesn’t involve screens. And baking is such a gratifying task, isn’t it? Unlike many other tasks you may do around the house, there’s a final product that involves eating. My favorite. (And thanks to this frequent post-baking pairing of mine, I have a couple yummy recipes that I will be sharing with you soon soon soon. Well, as soon as I figure out how to film a recipe video in our kitchen that isn’t just an overhead shot…)

The good news is, though, that I’ve figured out how to shoot capsule wardrobe content. (That is… I got a clothing rack – essential.) So today I’m delighted to share with you some of my favorite eco and vegan pieces from both my winter and spring capsules! Hooray!

I know it’s tricky to outfit yourself all in eco… what with most sustainable brands being online, and therefore, out of “trying on” reach. I am so aware of the challenges, and, trust me, I feel your pain. It’s also true that sometimes buying from eco or sustainable brands can be a bit more expensive. But… be that as it may, these days we can’t just turn a blind eye to the sinister fast fashion world. (Definitely watch The True Cost if you haven’t yet.)

Well, you can, but you may not sleep well at night. And chances are, if you’re visiting Veggie Magnifique, you’re seeking to live better and sleep well at night. The key here? As always – Progress not perfection – i.e. one piece at time {...}

At Pur Style we are always curious about sustainable developments in the fashion industry. Our Social Media Manager Hebe Street interviewed Giovanna Spica, Co-founder of Europe's first vegan online fashion platform Liv & Grace. In the interview you can hear from an entrepreneur, what it means to source vegan fashion, learn about the differences of sustainable fashion, vegan fashion and slow fashion. If you care about your environment you should know, where your clothes come from and what it takes to produce them. Sustainable and also vegan fashion comes with a higher price, you have to be willing to pay in order to wear cruel free fashion.

Enjoy the interview!

At a time where the focus on developing a sustainable fashion industry is stronger than ever, the question remains, how do we move forward within an industry that feeds a culture of wasteful overconsumption? Vegan fashion may be one of the solutions we have been looking for – but will it continue to catch on?

In this panel discussion, Rachel Kan of Circular Retail is joined by three sustainable fashion advocates who will discuss the future of vegan and sustainable fashion.

Catwalks are embracing eco-friendly and animal-free couture, but with prices as high as CHF 1,000 for some brands, can the trend last? Pauline Treis of Fashion Revolution Switzerland and Sanaz Wasser of the label SANIKAI debate whether this is a long-lasting and lucrative market.

Have you joined the vegan fashion movement yet? Over the years, fashion trends have been changing all around the world. In recent years, we have witnessed the growth of a new era in fashion. Ever heard of "Vegan Fashion" ?

Vegan fashion is entirely cruelty-free. The main goal of vegan fashion is to stop animal cruelty caused by the industry. The leather that we use comes from the skin of pigs, cows, or even alligators. Animal fur also comes from the skin of beavers, coyotes, lambs, rabbits and foxes. The objective of vegan fashion brands is to eradicate such animal cruelty by offering cruelty-free and vegan substitutes for these materials. Many brands are going in this direction and producing cruelty-free vegan fashion.

Giving up meat, dairy and other food from animals is the biggest change vegans make to their lives. However, more vegans are now extending their beliefs to fashion. There is a big increase in the sales of vegan clothing, footwear and accessories. Vegan fashion that has transformed the fashion industry and is constantly proving that it is here to stay. Veganism promotes the use of sustainable, environmentally friendly and cruelty-free living habits. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the products we buy and the businesses we support, every choice we make is a statement.

Global organizations like PETA have reported large scale animal abuse for the sake of fashion. The leather industry especially is filled with labor abuse, lack of regulations, tanneries employing child labor and endangering the community and workers with toxic chemicals. Due to public campaigns and demand from consumers for transparency and accountability, the fashion world has now adopted a more compassionate approach.

Making the switch to vegan fashion isn’t as complicated and as expensive as many think. Replacements for conventional animal-based materials produced in nature-friendly ways, are gaining pace. A major shift in fashion production is underway, with a swell in the number of fashion brands experimenting with so-called next-generation materials like vegan leather. With the rising popularity of veganism globally, especially after the pandemic, a new side of fashion i.e. vegan fashion is becoming more and more relevant.

And on this episode we had a fabulous talk with Angie Bell, actress, animal activist, host & spokesmodel of The Vegan Fashion Show on first time here in Toronto, Canada.

Being made with vegan wool means being of high-tech, eco-friendly, cruelty-free construction—a model set to take over the fashion industry. Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of VAUTE introduces PETA to her chic wool-free coats and chunky knit sweaters, which encourage positive change by taking animals out of the fashion equation and allow us to look and feel that much better getting dressed in the morning.

"Pamela, where can I find nice, good quality vegan men's shoes?" I get this question a lot from guys who want to move away from leather or already have but don't know what their options are for buying men's shoes. And we're not just talking casual sandals, we're talking nice, dress shoes that would wear to the office, a wedding or out to dinner.

Since I get asked this question a lot, I figured I would dedicate an episode to it, and I am glad I did! I thought I knew what options were out there for men but even I hadn't heard of some of the brands in today's video!

To be sure, there are some brands that aren't mentioned in this video that definitely deserve a look. So, check out just below for links to all of the brands highlighted in this episode, plus more that weren't but that you should know about if you're shopping for stylish vegan men's shoes!

Thanks for joining me as I raid my friend Carl's closet!
