Fashion is one industry that is quickly turning to new fabric technologies to cut down on the destructive effects on nature and enhance performance. Innovative fabrics are being developed with waterproofing treatments that reduce the use of chemicals and that give the fabrics longer lifespans.
The frontrunners in this change are bio-based and recycled fabrics. Cellulose Tencel is much more environmentally friendly than cotton since it is made out of wood pulp, and SeaCell, which is also made out of algae, is also naturally breathable and comfortable. Far more futuristic, there are mushroom-based fibres developed as mycelium leather, which is replacing regular animal materials, which are not only sustainable but competitive in the luxury market.
The extensive range of fashion houses worldwide is turning into an investment in these eco-friendly fabrics, and it is showing that sustainability and the fashion industry can co-exist. Such a trend is a significant movement toward fashion becoming both fashionable and environmentally friendly.
