Jill Milan Announces Line of Vegan Coats and Jackets for Fall/Winter 2015
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) August 07, 2015 -- Jill Milan®, a provider of luxury fashion and accessories, today announced the brand will introduce a line of vegan coats and jackets as part of its Fall/Winter 2015 collection. The new apparel items, as well as new handbags, were designed in collaboration with Hollywood celebrity stylist Laura Spinella.
The Fall/Winter 2015 collection’s apparel items include a knee-length coat available in black faux leather and in a wool-like fabric in a range of colors, and a motorcycle jacket available in black faux leather and microsuede. The collection’s bags include a new “duffel”-style bag, crossbody and tote in faux leather. Materials are vegan and sustainable. These items will be available for pre-order from the Jill Milan website by August 17.
“I am delighted to have Laura collaborate on this collection. She is an extremely talented stylist who has dressed Hollywood’s top stars,” said Jill Fraser, founder and CEO of Jill Milan. “Her clean, high-fashion designs bring a completely fresh take to cruelty-free fashion, consistent with Jill Milan’s commitment to being the only luxury vegan fashion house.”
Ms. Spinella is a celebrity and editorial fashion stylist based in Los Angeles. For more than 10 years her styling has included A-list actors and actresses, and photo shoots for publications such as Details Magazine and Elle.
All Jill Milan products are free of animal-based materials such as leather, fur and wool – Ms. Fraser, who is a longtime vegan and supporter of animal welfare initiatives, was inspired to found Jill Milan because she was unable to find high-quality, luxury handbags that were not made of leather or other animal-based materials. Jill Milan was named Vegan Business of the Year by Vegans are Cool.
