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.”

Q: Why do we need eco-fashion? Why should either one of us care?

Patterned/ Printed Pants: Women’s Trend

From tailored trousers to skinny cigarette pants, to ripped jeans and leather leggings; over the past years pants have predominantly been worn in block colours. What's more, they'd become something of a basic: frequently worn as a subtle item, while attention was focussed on increasingly-detailed tops, jackets, dresses, and skirts.

In 2010, pants are getting their own back.

As one of the Spring 2010 fashion trends printed and patterned pants are bringing us a whole range of new wardrobe options.

Want to Keep Up With the Fashion Trends? Try Zara

As a famous person once said, fashion doesn't have to do with clothes only, but we can find it everywhere, in our ideas, in the way we lead our lives or in everything that's happening around us. 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.
