Fur Never Fashion Party
To celebrate our biggest anti-fur campaign yet, on Friday December 7th, 2012 we will be throwing the first annual Fur Never Fashion Party featuring the wonderful Vaute Couture. This will be a ticketed event intended to celebrate the launch of our Toronto subway ad campaign, complete with vegan hors d’oeuvres and desserts, as well as live models and art installations. Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for approximately $5000 in prizes. All proceeds will go towards furthering our 2012/2013 campaign efforts.
Vaute Couture is an American vegan fashion company run by animal lover Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart. Her winter collection has everyone talking, because not only is her work beautiful, she also uses cutting edge weatherproof recycled and recyclable fabrics, and local construction (in Brooklyn, NY). The line is currently self and community funded, and the first season’s production run was entirely funded by customer preorders. Vaute Couture is proof that you can look elegant, be warm, and be a friend to animals!
Leanne has been named 1 of 40 Redefining Green (Grist.org), called “Vegan Scene Queen” by Bust Magazine, 1 of 8 Brilliant Eco Entrepreneurs (VegNews Magazine), and 1 of 7 Best New Green Designers (Ecouterre). Vaute Couture has been named Company of the Year (VegNews Magazine), Best Fashion Company (Peta2), One of NYC’s Best Secret Shops (Timeout New York) and the Vaute Coat was named 1 of 22 Best Coats (Chicago Magazine), and Winner of the Polartec Apex Design Award (Polartec- award shared with North Face, Patagonia, and others.) Vaute Couture has been featured on Oprah.com and boasts numerous celebrity fans.
Space will be limited, and we anticipate tickets will sell quickly. We will announce ticket sale details in the next couple of weeks, so please sign up for our campaign updates or check back periodically.
