Kanye West Inspired By Stella McCartney’s Animal-Free Clothing Line?

March 10th 2009

kanye_mccartneyAt Stella McCartney’s fashion show yesterday in Paris, some surprising faces not generally associated with her cruelty-free, animal-free mission made appearances. First up was Kanye West — who was named to PETA’s “Worst Dressed” list for 2009. The rapper is getting ready to launch a new line of clothing under the brand name “Past Tell” and reportedly was inspired by McCartney’s use of animal-free products. Afterwards, E! online reports that Kanye put his name down to receive information from PETA on animal-free fabrics and accessories that he might use in his own line of clothing. Both Pink and Dan Matthews of PETA were seen chatting up the rapper on the issue.

The other surprise? Matthews was also spotted chatting with Anna Wintour — the British fashion editor & the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, and long-time PETA symbol of animal-cruelty in the industry. Would love to have heard what weas being discussed between those two — but great to see that Wintour was at least taking in Stella’s new collection.
