Sustainability: What it really means in the fashion world.

In order for there to be green fashion, designers have to make sure that the fabric that they plan on using is sustainable, meaning able to be used over and over again which is generally healthier for the planet. When considering a certain fashion, designers look into its "renew-ability". Natural fibers are earthly found fibers that are not petroleum based, that are categorized into cellulose (cotton) and protein (wool, silk, cashmere). Recycled fibers are also utilized in the development of clothing. These fibers are made from scraps of fabrics accumulated from clothing factories, which are processed back into short fibers for spinning into a new yarn.Sustainability isn't just an idea, it has turned into a movement. Organizations such as he National Association of Sustainable Fashion Designers have been created to aid entrepreneurs with growing fashion related businesses that create social change and respect the environment.
