The concepts “fashion” and “ecology” seem to be mutually exclusive.
The whole point of fashion is that it changes quickly; “a mode of appearance so ugly we must change it every six months,” as Oscar Wilde put it (I am quoting that from memory, so it may not be exact).
If “green” is out of fashion in six months or a year, how many people will really recycle their clothes, or even (horrors!) keep wearing them, instead of just throwing them away? Although some of the clothing pictured in the Speakout cover article of April 19, “Eco chic,” is not bad — and I happen to like both soy and bamboo fibers, as well as the ones they now make from corn — the outfit on the cover of the section is merely ludicrous.
The impression given is of conspicuous consumption, not “nature-inspired.” How many pairs of pants went into making it?
