GO GREEN
GO GREEN fashion show
When New York Fashion Week kicks off at the end of January, designers will be showcasing their new green designs- but that doesn’t mean lima-bean green will be the new black.
Some of the world’s hottest names in fashion- including Marc Jacobs, Versace, Jil Sander, and Narciso Rodriguez will join no-stranger-to-the eco-scene designer Stella McCartney to participate in Earth Pledge’s FutureFashion runway show, which will feature their one-of-a-kind designs made from recyclable, sustainable, and earth-friendly materials.
This isn’t the first year for the show, which promotes renewable materials and production methods, and eco-fashion no longer means you DIY a re-purposed burlap sack into a clever (but still unfortunately hideous-looking) dress. An ever-increasing awareness of environmental issues has definitely taken root, and socially and environmentally-conscious purchasing options can now be found at all your favorite shopping locales, from your favorite ridiculously cute but shockingly overpriced neighborhood boutique store to all the major department stores.
If you’ve got champagne tastes, but are forced to live on a beer budget, don’t feel too sorry for yourself. You can check out some of the designs featured on the runway in Barney’s Madison Avenue store window displays starting February 1st. Then you can sulk that while your burlap sack dress is eco-friendly, the one-of-a-kind garments featured in the show are pure eco-fashion.
ECO-Fashion
The fashion industry has an enormous impact on the environment. Many of the clothes we wear today are made from synthetic materials that are made from petrochemicals, which are very polluting to the environment. Photo credit: Cotton growing – Courtesy of Fairtrade Foundation.
Organic fashion
Organic fashion means clothes which have been made with a minimum use of chemicals and with minimum damage to the environment. This includes chemicals used during every step in the process, from growing cotton, to the dying and finishing of the fabric.
Eco fashion
Eco fashion refers to clothing that has been manufactured using environmentally-friendly processes, and includes organic clothing. Eco fashion clothing can use recycled clothing and even recycled materials such as eco-fleeced produced from recycled plastic soda bottles. Eco fashion is not necessarily made rom organic fibres.
Why Support Organic and Eco Fashion?
The fashion industry has an enormous impact on the environment.Many of the clothes we wear today are made from synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester. Nylon and polyester are made fro petrochemicals, which are very polluting to the environment, causing global warming. They are also non-biodegradable, which means they don’t break down easily and so are difficult to dispose of. In order to manufacture nylon, nitrous oxide is released as part of the process. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas that is 310 times stronger than carbon dioxide and causes global warming.Viscose is another artificial fibre, made from wood pulp. To make viscose, wood pulp is treated with toxic chemicals such as caustic soda and sulphuric acid.
Natural fibres have their problems, too. Cotton uses more pesticide per cotton plant than almost any other crop in the world. This has serious impacts, causing illness and even death amongst cotton farmers who are exposed to dangerous pesticides everyday. These pesticides also affect local eco-systems, killing certain plants and animals and causing an imbalance.
The chemicals used to grow cotton remain in the fabric and are released during the lifetime of the garments so they affect people wearing clothes too.
Hazardous chemicals are also used on wool – for example in sheep dips, where they have been linked with illness amongst sheep farmers.
Certain dyes are thought to cause cancer. In many parts of the world, garments are dyed or bleached using toxic chemicals without proper precautions; the chemicals used can then affect workers and flow into sewers and rivers, damaging local ecosystems.
Virtually all polycotton (especially bedlinen), plus all ‘easy care’, ‘crease resistant’, ‘permanent press’ cotton, are treated with the toxic chemical,formaldehyde.
