More and more, the brands for environmentally conscious fashion are ever increasing. From labels that use locally produced, organic or environmentally sensitive fabrics, to those that are strictly committed 100% fair trade certified products, the underlying goal of these new brands is to reduce impact on the planet while maintaining the integrity of their designs. Going green is the new fashion forward! In honor of the upcoming shopping season, we’ve selected our favorite brands that pair style with sustainability.
