044: Vegan Beauty, Grace and Style (Ginger Burr)

With the popularity of vegan lifestyles on the uptake, there is evidence of change everywhere. Those who have been committed to vegan lifestyle for any length of time are now more common than ever.

In the past, it was somewhat of a novelty for an entrepreneur to be so vocal about being a vegan and incorporating their values so beautifully into service offerings. One person who has been sharing her vegan philosophy in a very unique way is Ginger Burr of Total Image Consultants.

Before she became a fashion stylist and image consultant, Ginger major in music at Mount Holyoke College. Fresh out of college she was intrigued by the fashion industry but had no clue that her interest would turn into her career.

After college she moved to the Boston area. During those first few years in Cambridge she worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Biology Dept. not as a researcher but as a word processor where she learned all her computer skills.

An image consultant for over 30 years, Ginger Burr has committed her life to educating as many people as possible about compassionate style.

Ginger was first introduced to the idea of being an image consultant after attending a workshop about color. It was a three-day workshop that changed her life. The facilitator was willing to train and mentor Ginger.

Ginger stopped eating red meat over 40 years ago. It took a bit longer to give up fish and dairy but the more she learned about veganism the more committed she became.

Although not all her clients are vegan, Ginger does what she can to educate people on more compassionate choices when they choose clothing.

“I use my knowledge of animal fabrics and the animal cruelty to educate my clients.”
