"Ecofashion" is 100% bullsh*t. Most of the materials being used are no better than conventional materials, production still takes place half way across the world and everything is overproduced (see how much ends up in discount stores).Every single company pushing eco are doing it to market crap; pure and simple. So glad that inhabitat has exiled the "ecofashion" to it's own site. She’s exactly right! “Ecofashion” is 100% bullsh*t.

Is eco-fashion fashion that does not harm the environment at all? Or is it fashion that is better for the environment than other fashion brands?It's like saying that low-fat ice cream is healthfood. It's certainly healthier than regular ice cream, but calling it healthfood may be stretching it.I also want to say that in no way is this article saying that eco-fashion does not exist. It is just pointing out a different point of view. Nber, I think that you have a point and it all depends on how we define eco-fashion.
