Natalie Portman, a vegetarian for the past 17 years, has a new leather-free shoe line out through Te' Casan. Recently turned vegan, Natalie says using fur and leather is "unnecessary, and cruelty against animals makes any fashion ugly."I heard this girl was vegetarian years ago, but she never said a peep about animal-rights in public. Her recent trip to Rwanda to document the plight of mountain gorillas barely registered a blip in the press. (But Natalie wearing purple in Paris, a few months ago, caused a major stir. What gives?) I'm glad to see Natalie Portman is stepping up and taking a stand against animal cruelty in the fashion world. And I'm loving her Mary-Janes.
