• Who will survive Covid 19 in Fashion business?
• What's the future of individual retailers?
• What's the future of the so many young fashion designers?
• What's the future of fashion shows? trade-shows?
• How do Fashion Brands position themselves as it's not considered essential spending right now?

We all agree that corona-virus has changed just about everything. Currently people are not interested in buying the latest styles, instead they want to stay connected with the Brand they already familiar with.

I don't think, Trade shows are going to take place another one year, and even if it happens will have only local O.E.M. Manufacturers and Buyers

Some fashion-brands and volume retailers are planning to postpone the presentation of their collections to 2021, saving R& D expenses.., O.E.M. manufacturers often find themselves in difficulties because the produced merchandises could not be delivered and paid for. There may be a solution.....

I strongly feel this is the time that we all Fashion Enthusiasts, Entrepreneurs and Brands stay together, develop friendly discussion platforms, creates online friendly events together on a common platform, launch new services and experiences to improve relationships with their traditional B2B audience.... Just connecting to your Customer's heartstrings and their need to financially survive and correlate strategies ....

Organic clothing

Organic clothing has gained massive popularity among the masses of the present century for a vast number of reasons.

1. Pollution

Fast fashion is the third most pollutant industry in the world. Manufacturing and shipping clothes uses massive amounts of toxic chemicals and leaves tons of waste. the average American tosses 82 pounds of textile waste each year. 

2. Scarce resources

A pair of jeans and a t-shirt takes 5000 gallons of water to produce - 12 times what the average person drinks in a year. Top scientists warn that a water crisis is looming, and the World Economic Forum rated water scarcity the single most important global risk over the next ten years. Companies who can adapt to sustainable practices, using less water, will earn respect from their customers - and will be well placed to survive when water supplies are less abundant, and more expensive.

3. Employees

All too often, the fashion industry falls short in paying a living wage and providing safe conditions for its workers. Who can forget the 2013 factory collapses in Bangladesh, which killed over 1500 people, and caused outrage at the mass market brands who manufactured there? Customers want to feel great about their clothes, and that includes feeling great about how they were made. Fair wages and happy workers are ethical policies - and they are a strong selling point.

Reasons Why You Should Wear Cotton Made Clothing

Cotton is a shrub fiber , it creates a  yarn in order to make a breathable and soft textile or fabric. In addition, cotton traps the air in between fibers of the fabric.   cotton material do not stick onto your skin; thus, sufficiently insulating your body. It is estimated that more than 25 million tons of cotton bales are produced each year, may be this is the reason.. Cotton made fabric were already in vogue even for thousands of years ago.

  According to experts, cotton absorbs around one fifth of its weight before it can be considered as damp.

Non Allergic

Cotton made clothes are hypo-allergenic. It is a known fact that cotton textile do not or rarely causes allergic issues or reaction. In fact, most dermatologists recommend wearing this kind of fabric in order to ward off skin allergies.  Cotton does not irritate the skin; thus, it is one of the usual major ingredients in medical products like gauze and bandages.  In addition, baby clothing are usually made of cotton because it compliments sensitive skin.

Durability

 What makes cotton very ideal is that it does not have inherent odor so you can wash it quickly. There’s no need to wash it for an extended period too, wasting so much time, power, and detergent of course.  Cotton fibers stick together longer compared with synthetic fibers as the latter tends to break down easily and becomes fuzzy. 

Less Toxic

Since it is a natural fiber, cotton is less toxic compared with other synthetic fiber.  Cloth fibers which are synthetically prepared are treated with chemicals. Most of these can be absorbed by the skin. 

Why they are good for Eco System

Cotton is sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable, making it an excellent choice as an environmentally-friendly fiber throughout its entire product life cycle. Most chemical fibers are petroleum based, which means they come from nonrenewable resources.

Fashion and Sustainability-Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is 

Many things are wrong with the fashion industry. Trends go as fast as they come, pressuring us to buy the next best thing which will be the second best next month. We are left with cluttered closets, nothing to wear and our wallets a little bit lighter, yet we still can’t help but want more

It’s fairly common knowledge that the fast-fashion industry is shady. Money appears to be the name of the game when taking a critical look into the corrupt side of the industry. Low wages, unsafe working conditions, lack of regard for the environment and, in some cases, child labor are used to drive production costs as far down as possible. A bargain price often means someone somewhere else is picking up the rest of the tab.

How can we take a stand against unethical practices in the fashion industry and the negative effects of thoughtless shopping patterns while still expressing our unique style?

One of the easiest ways to fight unethical fast-fashion practices is to stop buying from companies and brands which are not sustainably or ethically produced. According to a study by the Fashion Revolution, Topshop, Forever 21, Zara and Victoria’s Secret, among others, are popular fast-fashion brands implementing unethical and questionable production methods.

Think twice about brands that aren’t transparent in their production methods and environmental footprint. Apps like Good On You, Avoid and Good Guide can help you track ethical brands. TenTree, People Tree, Patagonia, Levis and Kings of Indigo are brands currently setting the stage for sustainable fashion.

The corporate giants that dress much of the world need to be held accountable for what is happening behind closed doors in the fashion production and manufacturing process. The fast-fashion industry, paired with a deeply ingrained consumerist mindset, is hurting people, our planet and our pockets.

In order to contribute to worldwide sustainability efforts and to improve countless individuals’ quality of life, we need to start taking an active role in educating others about the impact of unethical fashion practices. Everyone has the power to implement small changes in their lives in order to make a big impact. It’s not hard to win the ethical shopping game; you just have to decide if you are going to play.
