Ecorazzi informs us that Natalie Portman, the new face of Miss Dior Cherie, got “la maison française” to “re-made all [her] shoes so [she] can wear Dior shoes without taking lives”. We appreciate celebrities who are ethically conscious and voice their beliefs and I wonder if she got them to drop animal testing for their perfumes too. I am puzzled about the choice to sponsor a brand that is still exploiting animals though: she got her vegan Dior shoes, what about the dead animals she’s pushing people to buy and wear? The jury (but not me) is still out on that.
When is Dior bestowing on us a totally cruelty free line? –> Hint, hint à la maison Dior.
Miss Dior Cherie
Yoshiki Hishinuma is a Japanese designer inspired by Shintoist and Macrobiotic philosophy and a strong believer in nature and harmony. His Whole Organic Wear philosophy is a tangible expression of this vision that perceives man as part of a universal harmony we can achieve balancing Yin and Yang, the two energies of the universe.
Diagnosed with an “incurable skin disease” he managed to cure it embracing a macrobiotic diet and lifestyle, a belief system he has translated into beautiful and delicate design. “The Mobius strip” woman collection S/S 2011 is made with natural organic cotton fabrics, grown on soil free from chemical pesticides for at least 3 years and dyed only with natural plant-based dyes like iris japonicum, gardenia, cherry blossoms, olives, lemons, cherries and even cereals.
According to Macrobiotics the world is divided into two opposite but complementing energies, Yin and Yang, in perpetual tension and a state of harmony can be achieved by balancing them. Man is Yang so he needs to feed on Yin energy, i.e. natural plant based food (Yin). Clothing, touching the skin has the power to influence this balance, so why not helping it by using all natural organic materials?
