A passion for eco-fashion

I've just found and article called A passion for eco-fashion which sums up some of the issues of eco-fashion. It doesn't go into the gory details of the fashion industry's appalling environmental profile, but it does mention some designers doing some great eco conscious designs. I can't wait to check them out.

Hemp

Hemp clothing can be pretty potato sack-ish. However, I've just started a hemp section as it is pretty hard to talk about eco fashion and not talk about hemp. Some of the hemp brands do have a few items that would make great 'basics' to really set of some funky pieces. Probably best to steer clear of a full hemp outfit if you really are trying to avoid the potato sack look. Hemp is a great fibre with amazing qualites that I wont go into here as most of the websites rave on about it heaps.
