Fashionable and luxurious, eco-friendly apparel redefines what it
means to be green.
R&D has given us safe and renewable alternatives to traditional
textile dyes such as vegetable based pigments, and the ability to
efficiently manufacture quality materials from versatile natural
fibers and recycled plastics.
Furthermore, these non-toxic dyes expand the customary palette of
beige tones to virtually every hue in the visual spectrum.
Many
components to high fashion’s green movement include organically
grown cotton, bamboo, hemp, seaweed, and soybean, while recycled
materials include nylon and polyester.
Some of today’s cutting edge fashion designers to look out
for are: Alabama Chanin, John Hardy, Linda Loudermilk, Stella McCartney,
John Patrick, and Koi Suwannagate.
