I am no fan of celebrity “designers”—at best I think it’s a tackily transparent window into people’s desperation to emulate Hollywood and pop stars, and at worst I think it does a disservice to the actual designers and makers who deserve respect for learning and practice of real skills. Would you want J.Lo to “design” your next angioplasty? I bet some people would.

Anyhow, that being said, the forthcoming collaboration between Natalie Portman and Té Casan is noteworthy because it is vegan. Given how difficult it is to find hot vegan shoes that aren’t cheap (and/or cheap-looking) (Stella McCartney’s designs being the most obvious exception), anytime there’s a half-decent new line of vegan shoes on the market, people need to know. Pre-ordering of the line starts on the 15th of this month—until then, all we can peep at are the red MJ heels Portman sports on the site.
