Blog # 3 What Color To Wear

What color to wear? The color Green is probably one of the most important color now. Some people use the color Green to describe recycled material or for eco friendly products. The fashion industry is taken great notice to this world wide situation and is doing the best it can to be more eco friendly with their fashion. Green fabrics are being used more for their garments. http://www.natural-environment.com/blog/2008/04/10/17-eco-friendly-fabrics/ . Designers like Mui Mui are using scraps from their cutting room and using them for handbags or for garments. http://relivingmagazine.com/2009/fashion-designers-going-green. In the time period we are now, having struggles with global warming and having problems with the atmosphere other "design" jobs are also being eco friendly. Some well known car brands are making cars that are either made with recycled material or that use low amount of gas per mile, or even run on water. http://www.greenlivingonline.com/article/guide-natural-and-eco-friendly-fabrics. Designers like Leanne Marshall winner of Project Runway Season five did an all eco friendly fabric collection as her last challenge. Also, throughout the show she mentioned how it was really important to her to use eco friendly fabrics becuase it was more gental to the enviroment. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2010/01/leanimal11410.jpg&imgrefurl=http://jezebel.com/5448206/eco%2Bfriendly-fabrics-thrift-store-skirts--a-gold-hot-sauce-locket-inside-the-closet-of-project-runways-leanne&usg=__1rGtMyOQ4iTc2Tq5N0bpckXkO4E=&h=331&w=340&sz=96&hl=en&start=18&sig2=nL0GjbVBIIW227pz7H3v6Q&zoom=1&itbs=1&tbnid=-mHPV16-DAtmgM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=119&prev=/images%3Fq%3Deco%2Bfriendly%2Bfabrics%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=Tmi0TNe9FIS0lQeKqqXYCQ  . Some designers like Leanne are inspired by the enviroment. For Leanne Marshalls collection on Project Runway Season five she stated that she was inspired by the waves and by the ocean. Another Porject Runway Season five contestant Korto was inspired by the garden she has where she lives and by the colors of the enviroment around her.  There is a new way of making purses or what some teenagers like to call school bags. Some people use old T-shirts that they don't wear anymore and rip the sleeves off and sew open areas together and make and hand bag out of that. Instead of buying hand bags that other people  might have, you can just use what is in your closet and make a bag that nobody is going to have, and you will have a unique bag.
