When it comes to organic and environmental friendly clothing I have not seen it in the retail stores lately. I worked at the Liz Claiborne Outlet store for three years and out of the three years I have seen only a handful of items come into the store. I think the idea of having organic and environmental friendly items is a great idea, everyone is so into the global warming and these materials will help the world.
Will working at Liz Claiborne I noticed the items that were organic and environmental friendly, it was a little more expensive and they were very delicate items. We had many customers return the organic items. The customer were not aware that these items were organic and they needed special washing direction. Everyone gets so caught up in his or her life they do not take the time to notice the wash instructions. With everyone being in a face paced life I do not think a lot of designer would go to organic or environmental friendly clothing. The main argument would be it is great for the earth, but it is too expensive and time consuming.
Overall to make the world a better place I think that the designers today should look into the organic and environment friendly fabrics. Although it is expensive and time consuming, I think it will be worth will. There is a lot of dyes and pesticides that go into making the fabrics today. It would help when it comes to global warming. I also learned in health class that are bodies are like sponges, so all the harmful chemicals that are put in our ready to wear clothing are absorb in our skin...think about that the next time you go to purchase a ready to wear item.
