A trend is a trend is a trend. Unless it’s a trend with an agenda. The fashion world has fallen for many a frivolous fad in the past. Obnoxious neons of the eighties, dresses over jeans, and the grunge look have all had their fifteen minutes. These fads, like most, have gone out of style as quickly as they came in. But the newest trend to descend upon New York, Hollywood and even Washington is one you won’t mind jumping on the bandwagon for. Ladies and Gents, its time to go Green. And I don’t mean for St. Patty’s day. Because Green isn’t just a color anymore, it’s a cause.
Eco-friendly living is extending beyond the old mantra of “recycle, reduce, reuse†we all learned in grammar school. With renewed fervor, environmentalism has reached celebrity status, and has taken the schmata business by storm. Designers are becoming less ego-driven and more eco-driven by creating stylish clothing, shoe and accessory lines that are not only great looking but also environmentally thoughtful. Using hemp and soy based fabrics as well as alternative production techniques, designers such as Stella McCartney and Linda Loudermilk are proving themselves as fashion forward pioneers of a new kind of luxury- Eco Luxury. Clothing boutiques such as Visionary in Los Angeles dedicated to “eco chic†styles are blooming like flowers in spring all over the country. So stock up on sexy styles that are good for your look and the environment. Your furry friends will thank you.
