Green is the new black..

Today we had our debate on whether or not eco fashion is currently a big business. I went into the debate thinking I would definitely be for eco fashion. But Celia was so good at arguing her case she completely threw me and I left recognising the obvious advantages of eco fashion but swaying completely the other way. I'm more interested in the idea of recycling clothes than creating organic clothes.

My favourite 'green' designer that I have found so far has to be Junky Styling who's brand is based on destroy, repair, enhance and reform.

In my research I learnt that to make silk they boil cocoons killing the moth inside, but you can buy peace silk where the moth is allowed to emerge from its cocoon and live its life. I also found out that the UK produces 434 m tonnes of waste a year which is enough to fill the Royal Albert hall every two hours.
