Eco-Fashion Trend

Q: What is eco-fashion? Is it a new buzzword that will always stay on the fringes of the fashion world? Is it the same as “ethical fashion” “organic fashion” “sustainable fashion” and other such smart catchphrases?

Siddhartha Upadhyaya of August Fashion (www.august.synthasite.com/) has the right answer: “Eco-fashion is a practice when we use sustainable and greener ways of producing apparels/accessories. Greener ways include - reduce, recycle, upcycle, reuse, of resources. It’s much more than "ethical fashion" which people generally mix with eco-fashion. Ethical fashion refers to ethical means and practices of production like fair-trade, less use of skin and hides etc. Eco-fashion is a much broader spectrum which has ethical fashion as one of its subset.”

Fashion changes constantly and throughout the years, almost everything in our appearance that could experience change has already been changed Skirts are a very good example, their length going from so short that it hardly covers anything to up to the ankle. And what was once fashionable soon turned into unfashionable, and what was old quickly became new again. All of these fashion trends are inherent and they go as fast as they came. A certain style or action turns into a fashion trend when people copy it or try to follow it. Fashion trends become popular very quickly, but their loss of popularity is quite dramatic. The very essence of fashion trends is ‘here today, gone tomorrow', so anything else that lasts longer and is eventually absorbed by society and turned into an everyday feature will no longer be a fashion trend.
