Singer Leona Lewis struggles to balance fashion with vegetarianism - and
even resorts to wearing animal-friendly replicas of her favorite designer
items.
The 22-year-old star, who was crowned winner of British talent show The
X Factor in 2006, has remained modest despite her newfound fame - avoiding
diamonds, leather and suede.
She says, "I have nothing bling about me. I am vegetarian, so I
don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal
products. Shoes are hard to find. These are fake Uggs (fur boots)."
And she admits she harbors a passion to front her own
environmentally-friendly fashion line.
She adds, "I'm on a mission. I would love to promote a line of
non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable. I think more needs to be
available and not as expensive."
