Jill Milan®, a provider of luxury fashion and accessories, today announced the brand will introduce a line of vegan coats and jackets as part of its Fall/Winter 2015 collection. The new apparel items, as well as new handbags, were designed in collaboration with Hollywood celebrity stylist Laura Spinella.

The Fall/Winter 2015 collection’s apparel items include a knee-length coat available in black faux leather and in a wool-like fabric in a range of colors, and a motorcycle jacket available in black faux leather and microsuede. The collection’s bags include a new “duffel”-style bag, crossbody and tote in faux leather. Materials are vegan and sustainable. These items will be available for pre-order from the Jill Milan website by August 17.

“I am delighted to have Laura collaborate on this collection. She is an extremely talented stylist who has dressed Hollywood’s top stars,” said Jill Fraser, founder and CEO of Jill Milan. “Her clean, high-fashion designs bring a completely fresh take to cruelty-free fashion, consistent with Jill Milan’s commitment to being the only luxury vegan fashion house.”

Ms. Spinella is a celebrity and editorial fashion stylist based in Los Angeles. For more than 10 years her styling has included A-list actors and actresses, and photo shoots for publications such as Details Magazine and Elle.

All Jill Milan products are free of animal-based materials such as leather, fur and wool – Ms. Fraser, who is a longtime vegan and supporter of animal welfare initiatives, was inspired to found Jill Milan because she was unable to find high-quality, luxury handbags that were not made of leather or other animal-based materials. Jill Milan was named Vegan Business of the Year by Vegans are Cool.

Jill Milan appears frequently on the red carpets of Hollywood, New York and Europe. Among the celebrities who carry Jill Milan are Academy Award winners Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence, who carried Jill Milan to multiple premieres for their films. Other actresses and singers who have carried Jill Milan for red-carpet appearances include Joanne Frogatt of “Downton Abbey”; Amy Poehler, who carried Jill Milan when she was both nominee and presenter for the Emmy Awards; Rashida Jones of the NBC series “Parks and Recreation”; Kerry Washington of ABC’s “Scandal”; Carrie Underwood, who carried the Jill Milan 450 Sutter Clutch to the American Music Awards; and Miranda Lambert, who carried the Jill Milan Art Deco Clutch to the American Country Music Awards when she won for “Female Vocalist of the Year,” “Album of the Year” and “Song of The Year.”

Jill Milan handbags have drawn growing attention from influential fashion media. W Magazine has covered Jill Milan in multiple issues, recognizing the Octagon Clutch and Art Deco Clutch in its “Most Wanted” feature, and The Zoe Report recognized the Newbury Street Portfolio for its ability “to go from the office to cocktail hour.”
