The unnaturally warm weather of late has served as a reminder that global warming isn't just a concern, it's an urgent matter that is leading more and more people to the "green movement." What started with organic produce has extended to everything we put inside our bodies and even on our bodies. There's a new trend in fashion, and it's all about going green. More and more designers are creating eco fashion products.
This season, designers like London-based Elena Garcia, Mark Liu, and Miami native Meadow Compton style with eco textiles like hemp, bamboo, and organic cotton to construct exquisite and dramatic pieces without hurting the environment. Designers are beginning to follow this trend by using non-toxic fabrics and dyes that are produced without the use of pesticides. Consumers can be sure they are getting eco-friendly duds just by checking for the green button and tag that is distinctive of these organic pieces.
Can't afford these high-end designer brands? A lot of local stores carry organic fabrics as well. American Apparel has great organic T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and even underwear. In addition to America Apparel, Victoria's Secret has begun introducing beauty products with organic ingredients, such as mint, and offering camisoles, pajamas, and panties made from organic cotton. Target and H&M are other great stores that are also joining the green movement. Just last year, H&M used 1500 tons of organic cotton for its spring line and this year hopes to increase that amount by 50 percent. In the past, eco-friendly clothes were hard to find, but this season, green is everywhere, so there's no excuse not to make a difference.
ENVI ME is a Green Fashion online order store, which sourced the world for the most desirable and environmentally-friendly fashion and lifestyle brands like ecoist, HARVEYS, english retreds, Batucada, Trash but chic and gulguvenc. All these products from these labels are made from recycled, organic, or earth-friendly materials include candy wrappers, vintage Rubber, Eco-plastic and other eco-friendly materials.
