Style Naturally
In the fashion guidebook "Style Naturally" trendsetter and Eco-conscious activist Summer Rayne Oaks broadens the apparel consumer’s awareness to the sustainable, but very posh look into Eco fashion. She calls the book “invisibly green”, reaching out primary just to women who love style, and showing them that it can be done in an eco-friendly way.
She goes into some depth on how clothes and accessories that meet such criteria are made using sustainable and harmful materials. All Eco friendly apparel is made from organic raw materials, such as cotton grown without pesticides, raw unprocessed bamboo, or re-used materials such as recycled plastic from old soda bottles. Eco-fashions don't involve the use of harmful chemicals and bleaches to color fabrics—and are made by people earning fair wages in healthy working conditions.
Oaks talks about many different companies that have set up shop right here in America, getting all there raw materials outsourced from different locations to produce a quality product right here on our own front lawns.
With less manufacturing from large over sees production plants, we have an opportunity to conserve energy, and not waste our incomes on inferior and less sustainable products. Since the book itself is geared towards mostly women, I read it anyways, because I love the concept that it can be a more sustainable form of expression.
