Environment Friendly Clothes



The new trend that's starting to become popular amoung the younger generation is eco-friendly clothing. The clothes are being made from a variety of recycled, and environmentally friendly clothes. They range from bags to clothes, and many online companies are starting to sell their own branches of eco-friendly clothing.

"Organic cotton is one of the most prevalent alternatives for Earth-conscious shoppers. " It is becoming more and more popular with the leading retail stores to sell "green" clothing, because of the success among college-aged eco-enthusiasts.

Farmers are now starting to grow their cotton pesticide free. These organic farmers create a better work environment for themselves and their livestock, as well as regenerating their soil.

Many well-known companies are starting to sell organic cltohing, including Gap, Levi's, American Apparel, and Timberland.

My Favorite Designer


My favorite designer would have to be Heatherette. I love the styles that they create because they are fun and whimsical. Some of their outfits are very out of this world and crazy but that's what makes them so unique. I love seeing the pictures and videos from their runway shows because they create this crazy, fun atmosphere and the outfits fit them perfectly.


I like how they use different types of fabirics and other crazy materials to create a really unique look for the garments. Their use of glitter and sequins makes every piece pop and stand out. They create outfits for the "popstar in everyone."

They create a plethora of crazy, outspoken garments that are so different. and thats the main reason I like them so much.
