A Fashionista’s Guide to an Eco-Fashion Look

by Bianca Alexander

Peace in with peace silk

Steaming silkworms out of their silky nests makes all-traditional silk fabric. For a more humane option, wear peace silk, which is made by letting the little creatures emerge out of their cocoons on their own.

One of the easiest – and cheapest – ways to keep your look original is by rocking vintage clothing. Not only will it reduce the total negative impact of sweatshop labor and manufacturing on the planet, but also reduce your chance of being caught in the same outfit as your best friend.

With consumer demand for sustainable fashion on the rise, the big department stores have finally figured out that green is here to stay. Barney’s New York is leading the pack with an entire department dedicated to green fashion. And, the next time you head to Target or Walmart to bulk up on CFL light bulbs, don’t forget to pick up some organic cotton duds and accessories made from recycled materials.
