Eco-Fashion
Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. With the eco-fashion industry still in its infancy, new brands are popping up each season, so keep your eyes pealed for new designers looking to bring earth-friendly practices down the runway.

- are made using organic raw materials, such as cotton
grown without pesticides and silk made by worms fed on organic trees.
- don't involve the use of harmful chemicals and bleaches to color fabrics.
- are often made from recycled
and reused textiles. High-quality garments can be made from second-hand clothes and even recycled plastic bottles.

- are made in a fair trade
environment -- the people who make them are paid a fair price and have decent working conditions.
