Designers of luxury clothing and accessories are already queuing up to get their hands on the new plant-derived leather when it hits the market next year. Made in Italy, Vegea is a fully natural vegan material produced by processing the fibres and oils contained in grape marc. And she’s already defining her brand’s animal- and eco-friendly credentials by shunning fur, leather, and exotic skins, saying, “I don’t buy leather any more and I think it will continue to evolve even further as I become more informed.” With her first catwalk show at London Fashion Week in September, Faustine Steinmetz cemented her place as one of fashion’s most exciting young names. In a monumental victory for animals – and after more than 20 years of PETA protests – the luxury powerhouse finally announced in October that it would be going fur-free, joining the ranks of Armani, Calvin Klein, Vivienne Westwood, and Stella McCartney.
