'Nikki Reed and I met over lunch in May of this year and spoke about conservation, sustainability and animal rights. Within minutes we knew we wanted to develop a partnership and be on this journey together', commented the founder and designer of Freedom of Animals, Morgan Bogle.

'I have always been an animal lover, but even with my plant based diet and no fur policy, I hadn’t quite made the connection between what I choose to eat and what I choose to wear. I think Morgan approached me because I had a very consistent message that I wanted to be heard', Nikki explained.

'She has inspired me by unintentionally forcing me to look at other areas where I could make a difference in my own life, and along the way, we created something really beautiful that I am so proud of', she added.
