We already loved Kathy Freston for her wonderful books, Quantum Wellness and The Quantum Wellness Cleanse, which promote a vegan diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. (Even Oprah tried the cleanse!) Now we have yet another reason to love Kathy: Her animal-friendly fashions have earned her a spot in Vanity Fair‘s 2009 International Best-Dressed List.

And that’s not all. Kathy also defines her personal style as “cruelty-free” and her cause as “animal protection.” Favorite shoes? Why, Stella McCartney, of course!

“Best-dressed” Kathy Freston is yet more proof that nobody has to die for fashion. Just wait—I’m sure we’ll see a whole slew of cruelty-free fashion mavens on 2010’s list.
