The new trend in the fashion world is to "go green", to use organic fabric. Frankly, I don't think this fad could have come at a worse time. I want so badly to follow the trend, A) because everyone's doing it and B) because I'm a tree hugger and I want to be kind to the environment- awww! But seriously, the economy is down and I'm broke. Welcome to college life.
Organic fabric is plain expensive. It's more expensive to harvest and to manufacture. Though that the expensives are totally lame learning about organic fabrics is still interesting and something that us fashion lovers must be educated on. So, I'm adding a quote I found from http://organicfashion.co.uk/ about the different types of organic fabrics:
Types of Organic Fibres
One of the commonly used fibers is cotton. There are also other fibers other than cotton that is used to manufacture fabrics. They include the following:
1.Hemp is one of the alternative fibers for cotton. Hemp is a renewable fiber and has natural resistance to pests and is a breathable fiber. Since, it is resistant to molds and bacteria; it is used to make shoes. The fiber is strong by nature.
2.Linen is also an organic fiber. This has got all the features of hemp fiber. Linen is used to manufacture clothes for women, bathing robe, bed sheets, and towels and so on.
3.Silk is one fabric that is loved many women. Silk is considered as the strongest protein fiber. It is spun from silk worms that are cultivated using the organic technology.
4. Another organic fiber that is becoming popular is tencel. It is a man made fiber from wood pulp
