章節(jié)摘錄
The January fashion show, called Future Fashion, exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, th~ show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines. The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. "Most designers with existing labels are finding there arent comparable fabrics that can just replace what youre doing and what your customers are used to," he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents. Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(過渡型的) cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. "Mainstream is about to occur," says Hahn. Some analysts(分析師) are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware thatecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example ofthe unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: "Notthat Im aware of. " Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, sheson the hunt for "cute stuff that isnt too expensive. " By her own admission, green just isnt yet onher mind. But——thanks to the combined efforts of designers.
