Kelly Drennan and her crew over at Fashion Takes Action are movers and shakers (we’ve known this for a while), but we are delighted to hear of their FTA Design Forward contest for Canadian designers.

Is Vegan Fashion Sustainable?

Mar. 24, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

That’s right. Shitkickers. Your go-to shoe, your second-skin shoe, your I’m-feeling-like-I want-to-walk-softly-upon-the-earth-today shoe that reminds you that the weekend is coming.
