The theme was “Expansion,” and the runway collections spoke to the rising popularity of cruelty-free fashion around the globe.
Rienda also introduced a trade show concept, inviting brands to set up shop for attendees to discover vegan cactus leather accessories by Desserto from Mexico and vegan sneakers from veteran Paris footwear designer David Tourniaire-Beauciel’s L.A. brand Shoes 53045.
“Without any marketing, California became our second largest market,” said Samuel LeRoux, cofounder of Montreal-based, B Corp-certified watch brand Solios. Retailing for less than $300, the solar-powered watches have vegan leather straps. “This is my vegan coming out,” joked Sylven New York founder Casey Dworkin, who recently pivoted her four-year-old sustainable shoe brand to being fully vegan. Showing off her bestselling white apple leather “Almasi” bootie, she underscored the intersection of veganism and sustainability. “There are so many issues with the leather industry, and I realized the single best thing I can do to reduce my carbon footprint is to stop using animal products all together.
“I didn’t find one and I’ve been trying so hard,” the fashion activist said. “I think because people are not ready for vegan and I’m talking to a lot of people who still do leather….But I have a mission and this needed to be done. I don’t want the message to die.”
