Sasha Camillli - Founder Vilda MagazineFavourite thing about being vegan?
Not contributing to the exploitation and needless killing of sentient beings. Also, vegan donuts. Favourite city/place to visit which is great for vegans? Brighton, UK, where I live. Guaranteed most vegan-friendly place on Earth, and never makes those "best cities for vegans" lists. Favourite cookbook? I've never used a recipe in my life - improvising is my way - but I will say my friend Katy Beskow's book The 15-Minute Vegan. It's gorgeous and has lovely, easy-to-follow recipes. Favourite junk food guilty pleasure? Anything with a lot of sugar. Cakes, chocolate, cupcakes, donuts, bring it on. And no guilt at all - life is short and meant to be enjoyed! Favourite vegan restaurant or non-vegan restaurant with great vegan options? Terre a Terre in Brighton, La Suite West in London, Hermans in Stockholm, Mantra Raw Vegan in Milan and La Lanterna in Verona. Favourite alcoholic beverage? Any wine. I'm SO not a wine snob. Give me anything you've got, and I will drink it. Favourite vegan fashion/clothing brand or kind of clothing? Unreal Fur for coats, Matt and Nat and Jill Milan for bags, Dauntless for faux leather biker jackets, NR Rapisardi, Beyond Skin and ByBlanch for shoes. And I am certainly forgetting someone! Favourite cruelty-free cosmetics/skincare/makeup brand or product? My friends at EDEN Perfumes in Brighton/London and their fantastic non-toxic, organic, vegan and cruelty-free fragrances.

A brief selection: Nirvana, Audioslave, Rise Against, Led Zeppelin, Rage Against the Machine, Orianthi, Pearl Jam, The Runaways, Eminem, Metallica, Conquer Divide, Prophets of Rage, early 30 Seconds to Mars albums.
