Stumbling through pages upon pages of
Internet links can be great...or terrible. Today wound up being a great
Internet day for me. At first I wanted to find a meaningful article on hemp
dresses, but that proved unsuccessful. After moving away from the idea of a
hemp dress I ventured to search for articles on sustainable men's wedding
attire. After an unimpressive showing from Internet material provided for the
men's wedding sector, I decided to nix the wedding subject and stick with
sustainable fabrics as a whole. Finally! I came across a wonderful website
about the Sustainable Fashion Initiative group. "Stitching for a better
tomorrow" happens to be the group's motto. This initiative group blends
the Fashion Merchandising major I am a part of at The University of Georgia
with an eco-friendly balance I practice in my current internship. As the two of
these worlds mesh in a beautiful marriage, I can already see a bright future.
With advanced technology in textiles and the advancement of a green conscience,
the world is heading towards a solid sustainable practice. Positivity for the
future of the textile business is great for the advancement of the eco-friendly
wedding company I am currently working for. It will not necessarily bring in
business directly, but it is advancement for mankind and the future of our
environment. However, coming from a marketing standpoint, I believe the global
trend towards sustainable practices in fashion will inadvertently sway more
couples to seek eco-friendly wedding practices. When more and more couples want
to follow through with a green wedding, Blue Planet Green Events will be there
to put it on!
When I fell across The
Sustainable Fashion initiative's program website I discovered a magazine that
the group had created. Verte is the name of the magazine and inside are
beautifully designed pages put together to spread awareness of the vast world
of sustainable fashion. Within the pages of the magazine I found a striking
article that really caught my attention. On page 45 an article by the name of
"Fashion With A Conscience," can be found. In the article,
interviewer, Isabella Peraerlz paints a picture about a youthful designer that
made it her mission to design sustainable clothing to change the world. Tabitha
St. Bernard's love for our planet led her to create the zero-waste economically
friendly clothing line she has today. She took something that everyone is dependent
on and interested in and found a way to make it better. Tabitha is paving the
way for followers to not only design but also wear sustainable clothing. This
trend can become a staple in every closet across the country if it becomes big
enough. Check out the sustainable designer duds by searching Tabii JUST.
Tabitha managed to take a lifelong interest of hers
and turn it into a reality. Just because clothing and textiles are sustainable
does not make them unfashionable Tabii JUST pieces are vibrant and elegantly
constructed. Many women would love to flaunt one of these eco-friendly pieces.
When thinking about the environment it is easy to say, "I'll leave that up
to someone else." When an overwhelming number of people leave sustainable
choices up to the next guy then we are not getting anywhere. Next time a choice
arises choose the right thing. Be conscious of your decisions because no matter
how cliché it sounds, every little thing counts. All of those little things
will add up to one big thing for the future of our blue planet.
