Eco Fashion

What is eco-fashion?

Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.

• Eco-fashion clothes: are made using organic raw materials, such as cotton grown without pesticides and silk made by worms fed on organic trees
  
  
• dont involve the use of harmful chemicals and bleaches to colour fabrics
  
  
• are often made from recycled and reused textiles. High-quality garments can be made from second-hand clothes and even recycled plastic
  
  
• are made to last, so that people keep them for longer
  
  
• come from fair trade - the people who make them are paid a fair price and have decent working conditions.
  
  

With the eco-fashion industry still in its infancy, the main responsibility at the moment lies with clothes manufacturers and fashion designers, who need to start using sustainable materials and processes.
