Sustainable Fashion – The New Norm

By Charlotte Carson

Sustainable fashion

Sustainable Fashion is a burning  topic in the fashion industry and amongst consumers, and it’s here to stay if our plant is going to survive.

It’s not just a trend, an increasing number of brands have adopted eco-friendly stances from eliminating toxic chemicals, opting for organic, recycled, vintage, and ethical practices in their production process. The brands not shifting are the ones going to be left behind. Consumers are becoming savvy now and are starting to support brands that actually care about their own well being and the planet. Here are some brands we love.
