Morrissey Joins Forces With Stella McCartney to Make Leather-Free Shoes

Morrissey is to design a range of leather-free shoes with designer Stella McCartney.

The designer, the daughter of Sir Paul, said the designs are in the early stages but she hoped they would be in stores next year, the Daily Mail reported.

"I'm working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I'm really excited about," Stella McCartney was quoted by the paper. "We are still in the early stages, but the shoes could be launched next year."

McCartney is also reportedly set to work with fellow vegetarian Leona Lewis on a new clothing range.

The news came on Sunday as the former Smiths singer appeared on the BBC's 'Desert Island Discs' show, where he told presenter Kirsty Young he had once considered suicide.
