Eco Fashion

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever heard the term "Eco Fashion?" It's about being eco-friendly, ethical and sustainable.  By saying <em>sustainable</em> it means the renewability and source of a fiber, how a raw material is processed and working conditions in the process of production.  Also important is the material's total carbon footprint.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those who aren't so familiar with the term "carbon footprint," it's a measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄)  emissions of a defined population, system of activity.  An individual's, nation's or organization's carbon footprint can be measured by undertaking GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions assesment. Once the size of a carbon footprint is known, counter measures can be planned to reduce the amount that's being emitted.  So if we go back to the term <em>sustainable fashion</em>, we can talk about using natural fibers- such as cotton, mohair, cashmere,silk, wool etc.- producing these natural fibers with eco-friendly production methods, and also using recycled materials. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">From designers aspect, they are trying to incorporate this trend, philosophy into their clothing lines in a more modern way, rather than creating "hippy clothes."  However, as a natural outcome of the sustainable fashion, this method is more expensive than the "normal" methods.  Such as efforts taken to minimize the harm into the environment, manufacturing process and shipping of the products. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Celebrities, models and designers such as Stella McCartney, Amour Vert, Summer Rayne Oakes have recently drawn attention to eco-friendly fashion trend, along with Hollywood celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Recently the Eco Fashion Week (EFW) was held in Vancouver (April 10-12) with seminars and runway shows of the brands Adhesif, Arm Candy, Bitru Fariel, Deanna Palkowski, F as in </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frank, fiveleft, Indigenious, Kreati-Ka, La Isla, Sarah La Greca, Myriam Laroche, LRMA, Prophetic, SVENKS, Standing Armed.  </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here are some products from Amour Vert made from recycled material and with natural fibers:</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;">"Eco Fashion- Çevreci Moda" terimini daha önce duymuş muydunuz? Çevre dostu, etik ve sürdürülebilir olmak üzerine bir akım. <em>Sürdürülebilir </em>derken yenilenebilirlik ve bir ipliğin kaynağı ile hammaddenin nasıl işlenip üretim sürecinin çalışma koşulları baz alınır. Ayrıca materyalin toplam karbon ayak izi önemlidir. </span> </span><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Arial;">"Karbon Ayak İzi" terimi ile henüz tanışmamış olanlar için, belirli bir toplumun ya da çalışma sisteminin saldığı toplam karbondioksit<span style="color: #e06666;"> (CO₂) ve metan (CH₄) ölçümüdür. Bir bireyin, toplumun ya da organizasyonun toplam karbon ayak izi Sera Gazı ölçüm değerlendirmesi ile hesaplanabilir. Karbon Ayak İzinin büyüklüğünü öğrendikten sonra, bunu azaltmaya yönelik önlemler planlanabilir. <em>Sürdürülebilir Moda</em> kavramına dönecek olursak, organik pamuk, moher, kaşmir, ipek, yün gibi doğal iplikler ile geri dönüşümlü materyaller kullanmaktan ve bu doğal iplikleri çevre dostu yöntemlerle üretmekten bahsedebiliriz. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Arial;">Tasarımcılar açısından bakarsak, bu akımı, felsefeyi kendi tasarımlarına "hippi" çizgisinden uzak modern bir şekilde uygulamaya çalışmaktalar. Ne var ki, sürdürülebilir modanın doğal bir sonucu olarak, bu yöntem "normal" yöntemlere göre daha pahalı kalmakta. Örnek vermek gerekirse, çevreye verilen zararın minimize edilmesine yönelik çalışmalar, üretim süreci ve ürünlerin sevkiyatı süreci gibi. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Stella McCartney, Amour Vert, Summer Rayne Oakes gibi ünlü isimler, manken ve tasarımcılar çevreci moda trendine yakın zamanda dikkati çekerken, Hollywood çevresinden Natalie Portman, Cameron Diaz ve Jennifer Aniston'ı da bu gruba dahil edebiliriz. </span> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCy-Zt7wlQU-qo3tTYldNab-7k9wcwx5PSGTtGYGUv8SuS9BxmlJ0I_UZhvh4lVfwCJdXVIR0W7M5QT06fqbSVJ93jlpxQm6pv0lwmGHHdlle0CrfFKz6fpu95uMRwMqa_S-aj5KduruB_/s1600/amour+vert.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCy-Zt7wlQU-qo3tTYldNab-7k9wcwx5PSGTtGYGUv8SuS9BxmlJ0I_UZhvh4lVfwCJdXVIR0W7M5QT06fqbSVJ93jlpxQm6pv0lwmGHHdlle0CrfFKz6fpu95uMRwMqa_S-aj5KduruB_/s320/amour+vert.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clothing made from recycled plastic soda bottles..
