Eco-friendly designers are making sure to leave their mark in the eco-verse but using certified organic natural materials for their fashions. Here's a list of some of the hottest eco-friendly designers to keep your eye on:
Beau Soleil
Beau Soleil was started by Anne Salvatore Epstein in 2005 when she discovered she was pregnant and wanted to embrace a simpler, modern and organic lifestyle. With her past experience at Marc Jacobs, Epstein knew well the typical manufacturing process of garments and how it affected the environment. She uses organic cotton, bamboo and recycled leather trims as just some of the fabrics in her line.
Linda Loudermilk
Named one of the top 20 innovators to watch by W Magazine, Linda Loudermilk's designs are changing the way people think of eco-friendly fashion. Her luxury-eco line of clothing includes designs for men and women that go far beyond the typical jersey dress. You'll find suits, dresses, jeans and more in sexy cuts and fashion-forward trends.
Stella McCartney
Did you know that fave fashion designer Stella McCartney also had an organic line? The high-end pieces feature everything from pants, suits and dresses, to laid-back tops and chunky sweaters in organic cotton, hemp and other sustainable materials.
Enamore
It wouldn't be right to include a lineup of fashion without including some organic lingerie too. Enamore, an eco-friendly line produced out of the UK, features a collection of lingerie, intimate wear, accessories and clothing too. Enamore uses hemp, organic silk, soy and organic cotton in its designs.
Gaiam
The lifestyle company known for its yoga and wellness products also has an eco-friendly line of clothing for women and babies. Clothing ranges from sleepwear, loungewear and intimate apparel to tops, jackets, sweaters and robes too.
Alternative Apparel
Since 1996, Alternative Apparel has been perfecting the perfect tee. Now the line of men's, women's and children's clothing offers an array of eco-friendly clothing made from organic cotton, eco-heather (made from organic cotton and recycled polyester) and eco-vertigrain (organic cotton, recycled polyester and naturally-occuring rayon.)
J Brand Organic
Denim divas will flip to find out that their adored J Brand jeans have an organic line too, appropriately named “Green Label.” And with cute jeans like the ones above, there's no doubt you truly can get the best of both worlds.
Organic by John Patrick
Just launched in the spring of 2007, the Organic by John Patrick collection for both men and women is still in its infancy. Organic wool, cashmeres and vegetable-dyed leathers are just some of the fabrics incorporated into the collection that's been receiving rave reviews since its debut. This high-end designer combines the ultimate in luxury, sustainability and classic cuts.
Loomstate
When it comes to organic jeans, Loomstate is one of the more well-known brands. But the company also features tees, sweaters, jackets, dresses and other apparel for both men and women too.
Saint Grace
Saint Grace is a collection of modern, organic basics. The tees, jersey dresses and even cashmere items are a favorite among Hollywood starlets like Scarlett Johansson and Lindsay Lohan.
Eco-Ganik
This California-based manufacturer is all about contemporary women's wear. Eco-Ganik features tunics, dresses, woven tops and bottoms and knits and jersey wear too. Eco-Ganik is also a member of the Organic Trade Association and the Organic Trade Association Fiber Council Committee.
