The PETA Fashion Awards celebrate the labels, style icons, and forward-thinking, animal-friendly designers that have made big statements for animals in 2023.

Most Iconic Movie Moment
Costume designer Jacqueline Durran&rsquo;s humane fashion choices in the movie&nbsp;Barbie&nbsp;brought the intersection of glamor and responsibility to the mainstream. Ken makes a bold fashion statement by sporting&nbsp;vegan cowboy boots&nbsp;from&nbsp;Good Guys Don&rsquo;t Wear Leather&nbsp;and a chic&nbsp;vegan fur coat, reflecting a modern and animal-friendly twist on his iconic character.&nbsp;

Best Vegan Fashion Moment
When Kylie Jenner launched her new apparel brand,&nbsp;Khy, she celebrated with a&nbsp;star-studded party&nbsp;featuring a cruelty-free dress code: vegan leather. Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and other stars arrived in sleek animal-free leather pieces from Khy&rsquo;s collection.&nbsp;

Coolest, Warmest Down-Free Fashion
Canada Goose&nbsp;has introduced downright fabulous down-free fashion with its&nbsp;Carlyle Quilted Shirt Jacket&nbsp;insulated with innovative TENCEL Lyocell, a biodegradable fiber made from wood pulp.

Most Wanted Award
Aupen&rsquo;s in-demand&nbsp;vegan &ldquo;it&rdquo; bags&mdash;made primarily from recycled animal-free materials&mdash;were spotted on the arms of many celebs this year, including&nbsp;Taylor Swift, Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Gabrielle Union.&nbsp;

Best Luxury Product
The vegan version of&nbsp;Gucci&rsquo;s iconic&nbsp;Horsebit 1955 bag&nbsp;is made with Demetra, the brand&rsquo;s own animal-free leather&mdash;a blend of viscose, wood pulp, and corn-based plastics. Billie Eilish is a fan, and so are we!&nbsp;

Overall Most Vegan-Friendly Company
Gap&nbsp;is making it easy to find animal-free items, with statement pieces in its&nbsp;Vegan-Leather Shop, luxurious sheep-friendly cashmere in its&nbsp;CashSoft Shop, and numerous down-free options.

Most Innovative Partnership
Biomaterials startup&nbsp;GOZEN&nbsp;and luxury brand&nbsp;Balenciaga&nbsp;launched&nbsp;LUNAFORM&nbsp;at Paris Fashion Week 2023. This innovative material is produced with microorganisms and is both animal- and plastic-free. Balenciaga used the luxe textile for its statement Maxi Bathrobe Coat, and we predict we&rsquo;ll see it in many more designs to come.&nbsp;

Hottest Vegan Leather Product
Versace&rsquo;s eye-catching&nbsp;Croc-Lacquered Cloquet Jacket&nbsp;is a piece made from recycled polyester&mdash;not from the skin of crocodiles, who are doting parents and intelligent communicators.

Most Forward-Thinking Brand
In 2023, vegan brand&nbsp;von Holzhausen&nbsp;launched&nbsp;Liquidplant, the world&rsquo;s first 100% plant-based high performance topcoat meant to replace the plastic top coating on car interiors, canvas tote bags, and even cereal boxes. The brand&rsquo;s products also feature sustainable animal-free leathers made from bamboo and agricultural waste.&nbsp;

 Villain of the Year
 H&amp;M claims to care about animal welfare, yet the company stuffs its jackets with feathers ripped from birds&rsquo; bodies after they&rsquo;ve been violently killed. The fashion retailer can spare ducks and geese a lifetime of suffering and a violent death by ending its use of deceptively labeled&nbsp;&ldquo;responsible&rdquo; down&nbsp;in favor of the many warm and humane vegan materials available.
