Designers and fashionistas are increasingly embracing green fashion. From fabrics made with bamboo, organic cotton and vegan silks to recycled, artsy accessories, some of the top designers are going for an "earthy peasant" look that brings high fashion and sex appeal to eco-conscious customers.
The Houston Chronicle reports that green is very fashion forward this year. Amy Gordon, a style expert and owner of artfulwears.com, told the source green fashion is transforming this season from "granola looks to mainstream fashion." Some of the world’s leading high-end designers, including Stella McCartney, are increasingly using biodegradable materials and eco-friendly dyes.
But green apparel is not just for those with a lot of green to spend – even budget retailers are getting in on the green movement. Payless offers an eco-friendly accessory line – Zoe & Zac.
ImagesFashion.com reports that the green Zoe & Zac spring collection is comprised of affordable, eco-chic shoes and handbags. The line embraces this season’s hottest styles – including peep-toe flats, cork wedge espadrilles and moccasins. At the same time, the products are made from environment-friendly faux leathers, natural hemp, recycled rubbers and eco-friendly EVA cushioning.
The Zoe & Zac line was first launched last April by Payless to popularize green footwear. Thanks to national trends and recent green lines from top designers in New York during fashion week, it’s predicted to take off this year.
"Zoe & Zac green brand is truly unique in the marketplace for two important reasons – affordable green footwear and accessories at under $30 an item and stresses a fashion-first positioning and the hottest trends of the season," LuAnn Via, president of Payless ShoeSource, told ImagesFashion.com.
Doesn’t it feel good to pay less and simultaneously help the environment?
