Eco Fashion Designers

Linda Loudermilk's is an Eco fashion designer creating haute couture collections proving that organic clothing doesn't have to be yoga wear and sportswear. In fact, the opposite her tireless campaigning has resulted in collections that are not meant for practicality but as art. Her Eco warrior nature has also turned the heads of many Eco aware celebrities e.g. Jane Fonda.

Spring's 2013 Estethica showcase revealed 'green' designers set to conquer sustainability within the fashion industry. Using this platform the collections they have created are an attempt to prove and show off to the world the use of sustainable materials and ethical practices within the fashion industry.

The previous article led me to wanting to discover if using organic and sustainable materials prove to be cost effective and therefore can be filtrated through the high street by the conglomerate retailers.

So from this article I have learnt about all the different elements that make organic clothing more expensive to produce, the issue raised within the article that stands out to me the most is that a big part of paying more for organic clothing is the cut of cheap labour in third world countries which is often the reason retailers such as Primark  can afford to have such low prices.
