Torrey DeVitto: On ‘Chicago Med’, Philanthropy, Her Love of Vegan Fashion

VEGANISM

You’ve been a vegetarian for a few years and a pescatarian before that. Is veganism on the horizon?

I am still vegetarian in my food, but 100 percent vegan in my fashion. Once I realized I will not eat steak, but I will wear leather, I could not believe the insanity I had been living in! I stopped immediately.

Since you only wear vegan fashion, what are your favorite vegan brands?

Oh my goodness, there are so many. Matt and Nat, Cri de Couer, Stella McCartney, Bourgeois Boheme, Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather. They are all full vegan, but there are so many other brands now that make vegan items, you just have to ask!

If someone wants to become a vegetarian or vegan down the line, what tips would you give to them?

One step at a time. Just you trying is amazing! Do not put pressure on yourself to switch all at once. I even still have some items in my closet that are leather. I am still replacing! Do the best you can or you will get overwhelmed. Be gentle with yourself!
