UK singer reportedly spent more than $250K on animal-friendly outfits for new tour
UK pop sensation Leona Lewis is one of those rare celebrities who actually walks the walk when it comes to promoting a more animal-friendly world. The three-time Grammy Award nominee has long criticized the use of fur in the fashion industry and is also an ardent animal rights supporter. In 2008, PETA named her the “World´s Sexiest Vegetarian“.
To back it up, Lewis, 25, has reportedly spent more than $260,000 on ethical fashion for her latest tour, which kicked off last week. The outfits were created by designer Antonio Berardi — who has previously dressed Kylie Minogue and Madonna.
All of the items she will wear during the 16-date trek will meet specific animal welfare standards, reports Britain´s The Sun. A source tells the publication, “Leona has been very forceful with Antonio. She has insisted the outfits are as ethically sound as they can possibly be. She´s paid for all the clothes out of her own pocket, so she has been quite hands-on in terms of design.”
In late April, Lewis expressed interest in launching a line of vegetarian clothing. Perhaps these tour outfits will inspire a future collection…?
