325: Vegan Fashion: Exploring Luxury and Compassion with Dominique Side

In this episode, Maya interviews Dominique Side, a vegan fashionista who advocates cruelty-free fashion. Dominique shares her insights on the intersection of veganism and luxury fashion, highlighting materials like leather, suede, wool, cashmere, fur, and silk derived from animals. She emphasizes the importance of awareness and education in making conscious fashion choices.

Key Takeaways:

• Veganism and luxury fashion can coexist: Being vegan doesn't mean giving up on style or luxury. Dominique emphasizes that it's possible to enjoy high-end fashion while making compassionate choices and opting for cruelty-free materials.
• Educate yourself and read labels: To make informed fashion choices, it's essential to educate yourself about different materials and their origins. Reading labels and researching brands' sustainability practices can help you make conscious decisions.
• Embrace thrifting and extend the lifecycle of fashion items: Thrifting and buying pre-owned luxury items can be a sustainable way to enjoy fashion without supporting the demand for new animal-derived materials. Extending the lifecycle of fashion items honors animal sacrifices and reduces harm.

Remember, fashion can be both stylish and compassionate. By incorporating vegan principles into your fashion choices and considering sustainability, you can create a wardrobe that aligns with your values.
