New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Jill Milan, a provider of luxury fashion and accessories, today announced Academy Award-nominated actress
Hailee Steinfeld carried the brand's Disc
Clutch to the 2015 MTV Video
Music Awards Sunday.
"Hailee looked wonderful Sunday night, and the Disc
Clutch was a great complement to her
Stella McCartney jumpsuit," said Jill Fraser, founder and CEO of Jill Milan. "The Disc Clutch's clean look went well with the lines of the rest of her outfit." Ms. Steinfeld was styled for Sunday's event by celebrity stylist Karla Welch.
Ms. Steinfeld's performance in the film "True Grit" as Mattie Ross, a role for which she competed with 15,000 other candidates, earned her a nomination in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role at the 83rd Academy Awards in 2011. She previously carried Jill Milan to a Vanity Fair Oscar party.
The Disc
Clutch Ms. Steinfeld carried is entirely handmade in Florence, Italy, of fully recyclable Italian stainless steel, and the logo serves as the clutch's latch. All Jill Milan products are free of animal-based materials such as leather, fur and wool - Ms. Fraser, who is a longtime vegan and supporter of animal welfare initiatives, was inspired to found Jill Milan because she was unable to find high-quality, luxury handbags that were not made of leather or other animal-based materials. Jill Milan was named Vegan Business of the Year by Vegans Are Cool.
