Ethical fashion Ethical fashion is what is produced with well-paid and fairly treated adult workers; sustainable fabrics and materials such as organic cotton, hemp, bamboo and salvageable or recycled materials; low-impact dyes for vegetable fibres or dyes; respect a healthy environment and product for the farmer, assembler and wearer of the garment. We are all responsible for how our lifestyles affect the environment. Simple steps can be taken to make a big difference by simply changing our purchasing habits to include products made from low impact materials. Positive pressure on companies that have not yet decided to voluntarily clean up their act is very easy to apply, simply by deciding not to spend money on their products and by helping little by little - to develop companies that are clearly engaged in responsible business practices. What is great about the rise of the ethical fashion industry is the wide variety of models, colours, styles, fabrics and sizes that are now available. Long stigmatized as the cousin of the burlap sack, ethical offerings now focus on design. Designers with hearts create beautiful, sexy, current, classic, modern, imaginative and flattering. The ethics just won't be compromised and thankfully the look of their work won't be compromised either. Reducing our footprint is possible without any sacrifice.
