People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) held the third annual Vegan Fashion Awards in London to celebrate the very best animal-free clothing and accessories. The awards featured both men’s and women’s fashions with categories such as “most stylish down-free item”, “most stylish handbag” and “most stylish faux leather item”. Winners ranged from luxury and high fashion designers, such as Vivienne Westwood, Simone Rocha, and Stella McCartney, to mass-market fashion labels, such as Asos, Zara and H&M. “Animal-free fashion is the future, and forward-thinking designers are experimenting with innovative, high-tech materials that are vegan and eco-friendly and offer ethical consumers a vast array of cruelty-free choices—from high-street to high-end,” stated PETA.
