Fashion brands around the world are becoming more ecologically friendly. Here are 4 of the best.
Fashion has usually been tailored around having the best materials and the best design. Profitable fashion however has been more geared toward quickest time to market and lowest cost of materials and process. In the past few decades, there has been a major push to be more environmentally friendly in all business, including the electronics, car, and entertainment industries. These industries and others have begun to employ changes such as environmentally friendly power sources, fair trade materials, and focus on manufacturing efficiency. Now, we are beginning to see a push for these kinds of changes in the fashion industry as well, as retailers focus less on how much money is being made, and more on the image that they are making for themselves. In an effort to help this industry make this change, everyone choosing sustainable fashion can make a difference.
Here are 4 retailers working toward this sustainable industry.
1. KROCHET KIDS INTL.
