With more and more of us becoming environmentally aware, the green movement is gaining momentum and along with it, green fashion. Helping to bolster this growth, perhaps, is the current economy. With many people losing work hours or losing jobs altogether, shopping for brand new clothes can be expensive, and many are looking to vintage, consignment, and thrift stores to spruce up their wardrobes.
This doesn't mean you have to be out of fashion, however. More and more people are dusting off their sewing machines, taking dowdy old clothes and cutting, sewing, tying, and sometimes ripping them up to turn them into fresh, new, fun pieces to wear. Books like Generation T by Megan Nicolay are only adding to the movement.
Fashion trends are gearing more towards funky, vintage styles that can sometimes only be found by hunting around in thrift stores. Luck is key!
This movement isn't just limited to clothes. Old vintage necklaces are being taken apart and being updated and reworked into new designs. Designers are gathering inspiration from found pieces. This includes anything from bike parts to pieces of broken glass. Anything is possible!
In addition to recycled pieces, greener manufacturing methods are coming into play, as well as materials and methods of construction that are cruelty-free to animals.
We at #Eco-Couture want to share this movement on DeviantART because we think its pretty cool, and we want to take care of our home planet. We are small but we have some talented artists. Here are some great examples of green fashion that our members have put together:
