Leona Lewis appeals for budding designers to create ethical outfit

Leona Lewis has launched a contest to find an up-and-coming designer to create an ethical stage outfit for the animal-loving singer.

The Bleeding Love hitmaker revealed earlier this year (11) she was keen to launch a green fashion line, and she's now appealed to her stylish fans to put forward their own ideas.

The winner will work with Lewis on the outfit and receive a $1,500 prize.

Lewis says, "I love fashion, creativity and designing my own outfits. I can't wait to see what people come up with. I think it's really important to support creative individuals and the future names of tomorrow.

"I'm passionate about animal welfare and everything I wear always holds true to this - we want to find the next Stella McCartney out there."

Entries for the contest must be submitted online by 17 November (11).
