You Are What You Wear
Responsible fashion is so in right now.
By Laura Madden
Sustainable fashion. When you hear those words, what comes to mind? Eco-friendly? Ethical? Fair Trade? Often, people paint a visual of hippy-style 1970s garb, or something that lacks style and sass – the furthest thing from fashionable.
Choosing sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style. If you love fashion and also care deeply for the environment, explore this concept with Green Living magazine as we cover sustainability in the fashion industry and raise awareness of fashion’s environmental impact. This is a big one.
In case you weren’t aware, fashion is the second-most polluting industry on the planet, second only to oil. As consumers, we have the power to change the world, especially through the clothes we choose to spend our money on. Every choice matters.
The good news is we’ll be sharing solutions, such as stylist shopping options, to inspire you to create a responsible wardrobe. Join us each month as we demonstrate how stylist sustainability can be, and how important it is to be conscious about your choices. Stay tuned for more Earth-friendly fabulous fashions.
