Thanks for sharing a good article on a great site. I am actually looking into a few sustainable post tonight so I really enjoyed reading your posts and visuals. I am happy to see that the wave of Eco and sustainable design grows as our planet really needs to change its lifestyle fast. I was the trend specialist at Levi Strauss Co, and our team presented mega trend 2000 – 2005 where I presented for the first time the move towards a sustainable future that will apply in design processes. For those who are interested I have just posted a large article on my blog on sustainability and fashion, it’s based upon work from 1998. Fashion and sustainability often assumed to be in opposition, does it attract? How can fashion be sustainable when fashion means fast or a fad? http://wp.me/p1UV8C-1Cq

I agree that without thinking about the packaging and entire journey a product takes to get to the shelf ity seems a bit of a con. Rather than simply worrying about how green a product is though why aren’t consumers worried about how ethical an item is? Surely it matters more if te T shirt you buy is made in a safe work place by happy, well paid workers than in a horrid sweat shop

This turn toward green fashion is silly. The fashion industry is missing the entire point. Yes, it is great to approach cleaning cloth with more environmentally responsible products, however, that is the only actually constructive step i have read in this article. Making dresses out of recycled materials is not new. Although, calling it an effort to be Green may be. Shouldn’t we be thinking about how much the fashion industry spends on shipping materials, transportation and distribution? The avenues in which designers and distributing firms should be analyzed. The article has no relevance to a real change toward a more environmentally focused future.
