Green fashion is a fact of life. Natural products such as
bamboo can produce textiles softer than high thread-count bedding; softer than cashmere; spun with silk for "high fashion"; anti-microbial; perfect for tropics since moisture evaporates immediately; can be woven into durable rugs. Truly transformational.
Sorry folks, I thought I was posting to yesterday's branding question. But to answer today's question, I don't think "green" anything is a gimmick or fad. It is here to stay.
It can be in some contexts but in most cases its financially beneficial and people will embrace it simply to save money. If a Hummer can get 100 mpg more people would buy it, if a regular sedan got 200 mpg people would rush to buy it, to save money, the caveat is that it also saves the planet. At the end of the day green will put more money in your pocket people will embrace it along with the idea to save the planet. Do you really want to add more to Exxon or your local utilities bottom line.
"Green fashion" may be a gimmick term, but the concept is not. Natural fabrics kept us warm, dry, and comfortable for centuries before synthetics, with much less environmental damage and fewer allergic reactions, back when we worked to live in harmony with our environment.
I've "lived green" and so have all of my businesses, all my life, because I was raised in the Traditional Lakota way, while sophomorists tried to tell me how "out of step" I was. How nice to see some of you from the majority culture coming "back to the future".
"Green fashion" is no gimmick.
Green is here to stay, We are living the green era. all products, services ad people tells and discuss about the "the green way of life"I live in a green country and We are worried about our own conservancy problems, looking for green solutions, organic products, enviroment, etc...

Judy PenningtonNo it is essential to the growth of our business community and the survival of our country. It is past time to be on board.

Hunter WillisI see "green fashion" going the way of hemp clothing -- still being sold but only by a die-hard subset group.
