GreenByDesign.com is more than a green fashion blog. Sure, they feature and promote beautiful, innovative and sustainable fashion design. But they’re helping our culture define the next stage of green.
“Sustainability” and “eco” have become the new buzzwords, so much so that www.trendwatching.com identified “green credentials and un-consumption” as one of the five major areas people utilize to establish status. Green is no longer considered a trend; it has acquired the staying power of a movement.
As green becomes a pivotal player within the cultural landscape, defining and measuring sustainability in some quantitative way is essential. As we move past that first stage of organic vs. non-organic, a whole new complex arena opens, and people need help deciphering what green really means. And that's their job re:fashion at Green By Design.
Green By Design tackles issues from fair trade to cotton farming in Africa; they explore new developments in sustainable fashion, like fiber recycling and using technology as a means to push the boundaries of what clothing is. One discerning characteristic of their online publication is exclusive and in-depth interviews with leaders in the field, such as Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin. These features contribute to their primary mission of educating-- showing readers that beauty, class, luxury and eco-friendly are not mutually exclusive.
