Ethical Fashion 101 – all you need to know about buying Eco clothing

Sustainable fashion, also called Eco fashion, is a part of the growing design philosophy and trend of sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of environmentalism and social responsibility.

Who what wear?

Designers such as Stella McCartney are giving the topic of Eco friendly fashion a great boost:  Stella is the designer of the team apparel for Team GB at the Olympic games in London in 2012, giving Eco fashion a really big stage this summer. 

Amour Vert, Edun, Stewart+Brown, Shalom Harlow and Summer Rayne Oakes have recently drawn attention to socially-conscious and environmentally friendly fashion too.  An increasing number of Hollywood celebrities have been associated with sustainable fashion, including Natalie Portman, Jennifer Aniston and Salma Hayek.

In Europe renowned trademarks are armedangels from Cologne, Germany, Ajna-Organic fashion from Germany, Nudie Jeans from Sweden, KamiOrganic from Paris, Pants to Poverty or Po-Zu shoes from London.

Learning more about ethical fashion….

There are several different criteria that can be used to classify clothing and accessories as Eco fashion the major ones are:

Vegan: Products that have been made without the use of leather or animal tissue products. Examples are shoes and bags made from “vegetal leather” using Amazonian rubber instead of animal skins or other recycled or man-made materials.

 Vegetal Leather Bag

Ethically Produced: Ethical fashion is fashion that has been produced with respect for people and the environment. This might include companies producing locally or on small scales in developed countries, who might not qualify for Fair Trade certification or companies working with farmers to transition to sustainable crops but who might not yet qualify as Organic . 

Craft/Artisan: Products that have been crafted using artisan skills such as embroidery, which preserve the perpetuation of ancestral traditions.

 Embroidery Craft

Custom: Also called demi-couture or made-to-order. This is a way of encouraging quality and “slow fashion” over mass-produced disposable fashion.

Fair Trade Certified: An organized movement that promotes standards for international labor (such as reasonable work hours, no child labor, the right to unionize, a fair living wage), environmentalism, and social policy in areas related to production of goods. Fair Trade focuses on exports from developing countries to developed countries. Some Fair Trade certification organizations include: FLO www.fairtrade.net, IFAT www.ifat.org, TransFair (Canada and US) www.transfairusa.org and www.transfair.ca.

Organic: Natural fibers that have been grown without any pesticides and other toxic materials, preserving the health of humans and the environment. The process of organic growth can be certified by various organizations.

 Organic Materiel

Recycled: Anything that has been made from already existing materials, fabrics, metals or fibers. These are often reclaimed from previously made clothing and accessories and reworked into new ones. Fibers can also be re-purposed from pre-existing fabric, re-spun and reused for new garments.

Vintage/Second-Hand: Vintage is a generic term for new or second hand garments created in the period from the 1920’s to 1975. However, the term is often used more generally for second-hand clothes or up-cycled clothes

Summer Dresses for All Occasions - Guest Post

Summer has officially started, and with the warm weather finally here the great dress fashions are popping up everywhere; color, fabric and patterns are more diverse in one single season than ever before. With so many options this summer, wearing an occasion appropriate summer dress can be fun and simple when paired with the right accessories. Even the most casual of dresses, can be dressed up for social events such as brunch with friends or even a formal dinner rehearsal.

Cocktail Dress:

For instance, take the cocktail dress below here, it is a very casual and flirty piece and it can be dressed up or down for many occasions. For instance, it can be worn with sandals and a hat for a day of shopping or with strappy heels for drinks after work. However, adding a short tailored blazer, a wide belt and pumps to the outfit can dress it up enough for a more formal event.

 

Caribbean Maxi Dress:

For more spontaneous occasions, there is the maxi dress. It can be for everyday use since they typically are made of very light breathable fabrics and are extremely comfortable too. Some designs when paired with wedge sandals and a color matching cardigan can even be worn at the workplace should the dress code allow for open toed shoes. If the dress has ruffles on the top part of the dress it is recommended not to add too heavy of a cardigan if at all as it may create unevenness in your figure unless the dress has enough volume at the bottom to compensate and help create an hourglass figure.

Baby Doll Dress:

Another trend this summer is the baby doll dress, given the cut of the dress it is a bit more complicated to dress up, but adding a belt and high heels to it will give it a dressier look than if it was worn with ballerina flats. This very juvenile look must be worn with attention to detail and with accessories to accentuate and give it some shape because if it is worn by itself it may look like sleepwear and may give off the wrong impression.

 

Striped Dress:

Lastly, the striped dress when worn with chunky accessories, big glasses and a big sun hat can be perfect for a day at the beach, the pool, or just hanging out with friends. The great thing about a dress like this is that it can be worn with flat shoes; wedges, pumps, or even strappy heels and you will get a very different, yet appropriate look for multiple occasions.

With all the women’s apparel and accessory choices, this summer it is very simple to find a way to dress your favorite summer dress up or down for many occasions. Keeping two or three of these different styles in your closet will create the illusion that your wardrobe is far bigger than it actually is with all the combinations these key pieces can create.

And some one says
"Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women's clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wears"
