I thought I might talk a little about how fashion is trying to be more eco-friendly for the environment. Back in the day, people would have turned their nose up when they heard of fabrics that are friendly for the environment. Now clothes that are made from organic materials are becoming more popular. I think it is a great trend because fashion is a huge part of the world today. Eco-friendly clothes are becoming more fashionable, and I wanted to find a little more about it. I found an

article from Associated Content, and it talked about different organic materials that are being used for fashion items: cotton, linen, bamboo and paper. All of these materials can be found at reasonable prices too. Even fashion designers are getting on this new trend and applying it to their own styles (Oscar de la Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg and Bono from U2). Target actually has come out with a line that is organic clothes. I find this to be so interesting and amazing that stores are willing to do this. I think it will become more and more popular over the next few years. Designers are also beginning to use non-toxic dyes and fabrics. One very intriguing thing I found from my research is that "7 for all mankind" has come out with an organic denim. That is so cool!
I found a website that talked about the fashion industry and how it is going green. It talked about how the latest consumer is now considering the fibers in the clothes, how environmentally friendly the company is rather than just the style, the price or the quality. I think this is very important because the average consumer is aware of what is going on with the environment and its affecting their fashion sense and choices. This going green trend is slowly making its way to the surface. I began researchi
ng different looks that are organic materials, and I would wear just about any of it, especially if it was helping the environment.

ReplyDeleteI'm really digging this new trend in the industry, too. I think it's awesome that the green movement is finally teaming up with fashion.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I heard about this was last August, when my roommate bought his first pair of organic shorts. He was super psyched. Now I'm starting to here about it more and more, so it seems like it's really starting to catch on.
On another kind of similar note, Natalie Portman recently launched her own line of vegan shoes.

Organic clothing is so neat! I also think it is very interesting the way people are associating a movement and and fashion. Not only are people trying to lead better lives through recycle or emission content but now through clothes and making statements with clothes. I think its awesome.
