在過去的十年里,全世界素食主義的流行程度有了戲劇性的增長。許多人正在成為素食主義者,試圖過一種更有利于幫助地球的生活方式。放棄吃肉、奶制品和其他動物性食物是素食者生活中的主要變化。然而,越來越多的素食主義者正在將他們的信仰擴展到時尚領域。素食服裝、鞋類和配飾的銷售有相當大的增長。零售商正在銷售不含牛皮和其他動物產品的產品。商店里擺滿了人造毛皮大衣、塑料腰帶和用樹皮、回收塑料瓶、橡膠和椰子纖維制成的鞋子。

Her new collection is based on a theme of the iconic sixties pop group the Beatles. Ms McCartney's father, Paul, was lead singer of the group. She has designed leather-free Yellow Submarine sneakers and colourful fake fur coats. Ms McCartney is a committed animal rights activist.
