Sustainable Fashion, Popular Eco-friendly Fashion Trends In 2021

JAKARTA - Since last year, the concept of sustainable fashion is still the concept of a number of designers in designing various clothing for many people. Even now, this idea is still one that is increasingly being discussed as an action to save the earth. But, what exactly is the meaning of sustainable fashion itself?

Reporting from Generali, Sustainable fashion is the concept of garment and clothing production that is environmentally friendly and has good ethics to support the survival of the workers who are involved in every step of production.

Sustainable fashion does not only apply to designers or clothing manufacturers, but consumers also participate in implementing these principles for the sustainability of the surrounding environment.

Do you know? clothing is one of the biggest polluters to the environment. Fashion industry produces around 10 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions while the airline industry produces 2 percent. The impact of pollution on the environment that is felt is starting from water pollution, climate change, to a number of other environmental issues.

Not only environmental pollution, humanitarian issues such as sub-standard wages of workers or child exploitation are also closely related to fast fashion.

Currently, several international brands have started trying the sustainable concept, including H&M Conscious, Levi's, and Columbia. Meanwhile, from Indonesia are Hundred Cotton, Kana Goods, Hlaii, Love the Earth, and Ordinary.

Although the prices for their products tend to be higher than ordinary fashion products, this is balanced with fewer opportunities to pollute the earth and the environment. No matter which values you support, there are always positive and negative impacts on the sustainability of the environment and humanity in every choice of dress.

For that, maybe now is the right time to pay more attention to the concept of sustainable fashion. Are you ready to step toward change?
