Still new to the world of eco fashion I checked out the green room at the Designers & Agents show here in New York yesterday. The green room showcases new emerging trends and designers in sustainable fashion and furniture design. Some of the eco-chic highlights were the feminine and fair-trade clothes by anardo & skyum, the utilitarian PAPER WEAR collection by house-wear, the stylish lingerie by T-Luxe and the future-forward designs by French design company Ambrym. I was wondering though how some designs were more eco-friendly than others and how the fashion industry thrives to regulate this? The food and more recently beauty industry for example have the USDA certification process.
That’s why I was really glad to discover the stylish organic pieces by Kate Organic that are SKAL certified. SKAL tests and verifies international organic farming standards and makes sure that no pesticides or herbicides are used. Kate’s chic designs feel super soft and make sustainable fashion look effortless through its elegant ease. I especially love her Tokyo jumper made out of organic cotton fine twill that has two cute pockets or the Georgia cotton knit organic cotton blouse. Or her chic dresses made out of soy cotton like her Padme dress or the Cory Reversible dress. Her designs are stylish yet timeless which means you can wear them for many years to come. To me this is the ultimate definition of sustainability. Kate Organic also plants a tree through Trees for the Future for every garment sold.
Very stylish and good looking
