Natalie Portman to Launch Vegan Footwear Line  1/18/08

Natalie Portman has collaborated with a U.S. fashion firm to launch a line of vegan footwear.

The Natalie Portman Collection - made in partnership with specialty shoe retailer Te Casan and the actress' stylist Kate Young - will feature 20 pairs of limited edition, hand-crafted designs that are completely animal-friendly, with a price tag of $200 each.

The Closer star says, "As a vegan, I don't wear leather, fur, or feathers.

Shopping for clothes hasn't proved too difficult, but finding chic footwear has definitely been a challenge."

Yaniv Shirazi, Te Casan president, adds, "We met with Kate and Natalie to discuss what Natalie was looking to do and it was immediately clear that this would be a fantastic collaboration.

"There are so few animal-free collections out there, and Natalie's ideas were really great, in terms of style."

The line will debut in stores 1 February (08) with 100 per cent of proceeds benefiting The Nature Conservancy, an organization dedicated to protecting the environment.
