Fashion By The Rules: 2 Green or Not 2 Be
November 30, 2009
FASHION BY THE RULES
TO GREEN or NOT TO GREEN !!
Given that this is one of the hottest topics around, It comes as no shock that “Being Green” can also apply to what we wear.
I believe that one of the most common misconceptions is that “going green” will only apply to cotton items where the reality is that the whole idea encompasses cotton , silk and baby alpaca. One must keep in mind that the articles of clothing must be manufactured in an environmentally sound way whether or not the material is sustainable. Simple terms, no chemical wastes and eco friendly whether or not the raw material was made from recycled material.
OK so now I hope you have a rough idea of “What makes it green” so we can move onto how can you spend your green to own it!!
The internet is brimming with opportunities to learn about it and purchase it. Take for example, SHOPWIKI which provides an entire explanation of the concept as well as a reasonably thorough brand listing. If you are into the celebrity of the going green, then the perfect brand for you is ERDUN which is a socially conscious clothing company started by Bono and his wife Ali. You will find all classifications of apparel and accessories including jewelry I have featured a collection of jewelry which I am responsible for which is made primarily of sustainable materials as well as many other items which I found while researching the idea of “Eco-friendly” apparel… so now it is your decision “to be green or not to be green!!!!”
