A carbon emerged by the fashion industry accounts for a quarter of the carbon all over the world. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, the $ 2.5 trillion fashion industry accounts for about 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The amount of water used to make clothes is equal to the amount of water used by about 5 million people each year. The chemicals used to produce the fabric are also bad for the environment.
One of the attributes of the fashion industry is the ‘fast fashion’. It refers to a clothing brand and consumption pattern that quickly makes and distributes a material that immediately reflects the latest trends.
The alternative is Vegan Fashion. It is a compound word of ‘vegan’ and ‘fashion’. Instead of using animal skins or fur, these clothes, shoes, and other materials are made of plants or composite materials. It is a fashion style that pursues the consumption and practice of environment protection, animal protection, and animal ethics.
As a matter of fact, the 2020 S/S season fashion keyword is sustainability. As more people get a higher level of consciousness of consumption, fashion now emphasizes a sense of responsibility based on society and the environment. Items that can be worn for a long time are essential for those who seek something unchanged.
Keywords such as ‘sustainability’, ‘romance’, ‘minimal’, and ‘pastel’ have been introduced for spring and summer fashion trends. The beauty of this fashion is that two sides can co-exist with minimal styles and maximal details. The centerpiece of this spring’s styling depends on how adorable it is by adding romantic elements such as the puff and shirring with the most
common item everyone has.
Valentino showed research on white shirt collections, the most common item. Prada also introduced minimalism ‘Less is more’ in Office Look. The major luxury brands offer true designs focused on timelessness and simplicity.
Products that have been loved once have become steadily more popular and are now in the spotlight, more so than a new craze fashion. People now seek ‘sustainability’ through purchasing classic and practical items that they can wear for a long time.
- Pro tip
Let us find out a variety of styling methods using two basic items that are sustainable.
1. Set-up
Now, as an adult, there will be a time when you have to be formal. For example, you might go on a stage as a student representative or attend weddings. At that time, choose your T-shirt colors inside the jacket according to the mood of the place. For set-up colors, beige or black will make you look neat. Even those who cannot wear clothes well can look stylish. If you have an oversized jacket, you can be cool by matching wide-jeans and shorts or draping your jacket on your shoulder.
2. A Trench-coat
When spring comes, the Cherry Blossom Festival is the main event, and for the festival, the trench coat will be perfect. For women, beige or ivory matches well with pastel colors. If you are dressing for the inside, wear skinny jeans with red flat shoes. For men, the black trench coat and the low-heel loafer can make a clean and neat appearance. We can also match walkers and washing-jeans to create a more masculine atmosphere.
