Proving that fashion can be vegan, the Humane Society has partnered with Art Institutes from the US and Canada in the 7th Annual Cool vs Cruel Competition. This year’s grand prize winner was Johana Zara<\/strong> from the Art Institute in Vancouver who was inspired by Fendi and created a piece that reinterpreted and replaced the fur with faux, for a runway ready look.<\/p>\n

Selecting the winner and invited to attend were designers John Bartlett, Victoria Bartlett, Marc Bouwer, Ally Chomer, Leanne Hilgart and Elizabeth Olsen; fashion photographer Nigel Barker; PAPER Magazine editor Mickey Boardman; and The Discerning Brute blog founder Joshua Katcher.<\/strong> Zara earned first place with her Fendi-inspired piece using faux-fur, faux-suede and polyester chiffon. <\/p>\n

To celebrate the competition, the reception was held at STORY, a pioneering new retail model created by Rachel Shechtman, a seasoned marketing and retail consultant known for launching innovative marketing work at Gilt, Tom\u2019s Shoes, Bliss, Kraft, AOL and others. A 2,000 square foot store located in Manhattan\u2019s burgeoning retail corridor of 10th Avenue, STORY is a retail space that has the point of view of a magazine, changes like a gallery and sells things like a store. <\/p>\n
