More about Viva La Vegan
Our Story. VIVA LA VEGAN. Clothed In Compassion.
Our team at VLV are a committed bunch of vegans and eco-ambassadors. No stereotypes here just a love of style and contemporary fashion. We make clothes that look and feel great without compromising our ideals.
'Go Green' is the new black, compassion the new lifestyle fashion that is more than a trend. Wear it well.
A fashion & graphics designer for many of the UK and International high-street brands for over 14 years, I love to play with colour, texture and clothes that make a statement. Spending many vibrant years abroad hands-on living and breathing fashion, travelling the world with my job for sourcing and meetings.
I slowly became aware of and disheartened by the darker side of the industry and the trend for disposable fast-fashion which goes against many of my own feelings of how we should treat the earth, her resources and her people.
Vegetarian from an early age I became vegan about 9 years ago after watching Gary's infamous speech on intensive farming. Until then, I hadn't known what dairy animals actually went through.
Suddenly the idea of my favourite halloumi cheese didn't feel so good, I made the switch mid-documentary and have truly never looked back.
Sunshine and good fortune brought me to Tel-Aviv, I was surrounded by fire-bellied, passionate animal rights supporters, vegans and vegetarians and eco-enthusiasts who believe that we need to bring about positive change by owning our own actions and walking the talk.
This desire to make a difference was infectious...One vivid dream, an inspired night of frantic sketching and the seeds of Viva La Vegan were sewn.
