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.

Eco Fashion Clothes:

  • 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 to last, so that people keep them for longer.
  • are made in a fair trade  environment -- the people who make them are paid a fair price and have decent working conditions.
