Ashley Byrne has been taking a stand for animals since she was a teen and she now does this officially through her role with Peta. Today, we tackle dressing without guilt and looking fabulous in your own skin without appropriating anybody else’s. Of course you don’t wear fur, but what about wool? Feathers? Down? Tune in to learn the grim realities of these materials’ origins and the eco-chic alternatives that are populating the runways, plus the human rights abuses inherent in the leather industry and how luxurious — and earth-friendly — Vegan leather has become.
