Sustainable fashion

Having to consider climate change in our glob, sustainable fashion can enhance some trends to wear. What is this sustainable fashion trend? It is fashion that has a friendlier side to the environment. According to the May 2007 Vogue Magazine it is said to be a long term trend which is Eco friendly and could last multiple seasons. Many designers have implemented the Eco friendly trend to their fashion and are changing their materials. Rather than producing fashion that won't last or won't have dignity in it designers are incorporating from conventional methods.

Three criteria are primarily used to distinguish the creation of eco-friendly from ordinary fabrics:

 Green fashion: 7 ways why we should care about sustainable fashion
  • Its better for the earth
The fashion industry leaves behind a huge environmental footprint, from the pesticides used in growing cotton and the leached chemicals from the toxic dyes.
  • Its better for people
 You can be sure it was produced under safe working conditions, it's sweatshop free.
  • Its better for animals
. The same goes for fur and leather anything, and, for vegans, that refusal to take advantage of animals extends as far as not wearing wool or silk.
  • It lasts longer
 Instead of wearing those trendy organic leggings for just one season, invest in classic shapes, chic silhouettes, and foolproof colors that you can flaunt for years to come.
  • Its more personal
The same criteria you keep in mind when buying the food that goes into your body applies to picking out the clothes that will go on it.
  • Its easier (affordable) to take care of your clothes
How you take care of your clothes once you get them home can also make a difference in your wardrobe's environmental impact.
  • Its more than just organic
We've already mentioned local designers and timeless pieces, but sustainable clothing also includes vintage pieces and handmade options.

    The fact that some of us wear clothes and love thee material being used for it,it never crosses our mind that these were made by affect environmental products and we dont think of our sustainability. How do you think Fashion companys can do away with this?

    They should try modernising to the new trend because its an investment of a long-term product rather than short-term products.
