I was thinking about taking a little break on how schools are going green so instead I’m going to discuss how students are wearing green. I’ve noticed around campus lately that a lot of students are sporting t-shirts or bags that promote a greener life. And in the fashion industry with big-name designers, they are not only sponsoring many green groups, but are including the “green style” into their clothing lines.
Stella McCartney is among the many designers that have created a green clothing line. McCartney used organic fabrics to pull her collection together and because she is promoting a greener look, other designers including Tommy Hilfiger, Versace and Marc Jacobs have incorporated different green lines for their clothes.
In New York City’s fashion week, other designers showcased their green look showing how they have evolved in a more modern and eco-friendly sense.
On the more affordable side for students, other designers are showcased at department stores. Threads 4 Thought and Free People are the most popular among students being sold at Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters The clothes don’t have a burlap feel to them so instead they are more stylish and are definitely becoming a big trend in the fashion world. Organic cotton feels just like cotton and just because the clothing is “green” doesn’t mean that the clothes will be less in quality. All of the big name and smaller name designers are making an effort to promote a more environmentally friendly style and it works.
So maybe green is really becoming the new black and I think that’s a good trend to start.
