Environmental issues are something everyone should be thinking about, at least in the back of their mind, when supporting fashion. I’m not exactly talking about canning all of your favorite brands because they’re not vegan, but I am saying know where your clothes come from. Going green is a serious trend in designers today and seems to be growing stronger, which is why there are so many options out there for the environmentally conscious fashionista (and the choices are getting more and more spectacular as more and more people become involved.)
THIS IS SO CUTE! I don’t think I can survive another summer without it! It was honestly love at first sight. The designer is Bahar Shapar, its made with silk that was harvested without pesticides, the lining is unbleached cotton and all of jacquard trimmings are vintage taken from other garments. Its basically flawless and a vision in organic products.
Another soon-to-be piece of my wardrobe is this adorable springy dress. It’s airy, elegant and crazy cute, perfect for the warm spring weather. It’s also worth the extra money because it’s not only organic but it can be work day to night, throw on a jean jacket for the casual afternoon picnic and take it off and add some edgy heels for a totally chic evening outfit. Peruvian designer Vanessa Barrantes uses organic fibers like bamboo to make her collection really shine. Check out some more of her dresses HERE
Basically, going green isn’t about recycling a potato sack into a dress, its definitely so much more than that. For once, its possible to be environmentally conscious and be obsessed with fashion as well, so we should take advantage of this opportunity to express our beliefs and morals through our fashion sense.
