Go green

In our busy lives, most of us have little time to connect with the great outdoors. The 1st of September we all welcome spring day and growing up we use to plant a tree in celebrating it. On the other side of town they do spring splash were people are getting splashed with water. Nowadays in fashion great evens like fashion runways are happening, namely the Fabiani and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, which was held in Cape Town on the 8th of August 2012. According to Jerri it was a success.

Eco green

So why go green?
Sustainable clothing uses organic material, cruelty-free sources, recycled materials, and materials that are biodegradable.  A sustainable fashion design should consider the environmental and social impact of its entire life span, from production to disposal.

Sustainable fashion, also called eco fashion, is a part of the growing design philosophy and trend of sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of environmentalism and social responsibility. Sustainable fashion is part of the larger trend of sustainable design where a product is created and produced with consideration to the environmental and social impact it may have throughout its total life span, including its "carbon footprint".

Why is eco fashion so hot?

Clothes and accessories that meet such criteria are usually made using organic raw materials, such as cotton grown without pesticides, or re-used materials such as recycled plastic from old soda bottles. Eco-fashions don't involve the use of harmful chemicals and bleaches to colour fabrics—and are made by people earning fair wages in healthy working conditions.
One of the highlights of FutureFashion was a stunning pink-and-yellow skirt made from corn fiber by uber-cool Heatherette designer Richie Rich.
“It’s definitely something we’re going to continue toying with,” Rich told reporters. “People often perceive the fashion world as superficial, so it’s great to work with materials that are actually good for the environment. I had my doubts, but when we actually saw the fabric swatches we were blown away. They were gorgeous, and it wasn't hard to design with them.” So go green with a smile this spring because reasons are stated why, should you disagree feel free to comment.
