Veganism is considered as abstaining the use of eating meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey; basically, everything that comes from animals. But going vegan is not limited only to excluding animal products from your diet but also from your lifestyle as a whole. 

While considering fashion and beauty, some restrict themselves from looking towards animal welfare. Fashion is a way to convey one’s feelings and if your clothes do not share the frame of your mind then everything becomes futile.

These inspiring fashion brands chose to nurture the unheard lives rather than entangling them for our benefits by contributing to a multifaceted environmental crisis, so they’re making responsible choices by creating their fashionable wares with cruelty-free, recycled sustainable materials.

Let us look at the brands approved by PETA, that has adopted vegan fashion:

Are Indian Consumers in support of Vegan Fashion and Beauty?

In spite of the fact that vegetarianism is widely accepted and has accomplished its way of life in India, veganism is relatively new concept.

The rise in the awareness related to mistreatment of animals and the elevating environmental degradation associated with rearing animals has led to the increase in demand for vegan substitutes. The urban Indians are looking to move away from garments and cosmetics that make animals suffer needlessly in its creation & testing.

A modern woman is more aware regarding the cosmetic ingredients and looks them up on web for information on safety and ethics. This is great news for vegan products as they have been developed more recently, and tend to have modern formulations.

Presently, the fashion and beauty brands have kept consumerism and environmentalism in mind and have designed products that are cruelty-free and vegan, as people have started choosing environment friendly alternatives.
