The aim of this is to create a cycle which can be supported forever in terms of social responsibility of the world and the resources which will be need if we keep the earth healthy and working.
Sustainable fashion which is also known as eco fashion or environmental fashion, is a part of the growing trend of sustainability and the constant need for more and more clothes to be made, so there is now a philosophy to even out the imbalance which is being made because of the amount of batch product of worn once clothes. The aim of this is to create a cycle which can be supported forever in terms of social responsibility of the world and the resources which will be need if we keep the earth healthy and working. Sustainable fashion is part of the larger trend of sustainable design where a product is created and produced with a lot of consideration on what the effect of making the material, making the item and when finally the item is thrown away. People should take into thought the environmental and social impact it may have during its total life span, including its “carbon footprint”. There are many factors when bearing in mind the sustainability of a material. The renewability and source of a fibre, the process of how a fibre is turned into a textile, the working conditions of the people making the materials, and the materials total carbon footprint.
Organic fashion means clothing which is made with a minimal use of chemicals. A lot of today’s clothing is made from synthetic materials created using chemicals; these are harsh and harm the environment. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester don’t biodegrade easily and are very difficult to dispose of. Eventually when they do break down they release these very harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Unluckily when it comes to organic fashion, natural materials aren’t enough; cotton plantations develop the biggest amounts of pesticides of any crop in the world, so you need to think about sourcing organic cotton, grown without the use of harmful insecticides and pesticides.
Many of the natural products we get such as cotton and wool are then synthetically dyed and treated with lots of chemicals which are just as bad. If a range is actually organic then we won’t have been treated at all. For a truly organic material it must have been taken from an organically reared animal and dyed in a vegetable based dye. Things such a dyed cotton with chlorine to make it whiter or adding a substance called formaldehyde to make the material crease resistant is emissary even if it is fashionable and adds to the carbon footprint.
