Lewis to launch vegan fashion line

Leona Lewis is in talks to launch a vegan clothing range, a friend has confirmed.

It was reported last month that the singer wants to follow in Natalie Portman's footsteps and develop a fashion line using ethically-sourced products.

A pal told Hello that Lewis is serious about pursuing the idea, saying: "She's always adored animals since she was a little girl and has been a vegetarian since the age of 12.

"The reason she doesn't wear diamonds is because she doesn't know how they have been sourced. It was for this reason that she is determined to set up her own ethical fashion range and sell the goods at high street prices."
