Celebrate Earth Day, The Fashionable Way

It's Earth Day and with it comes a month dedicated to what is arguably the most universal cause we know – caring for our planet. In the past few years, the Green Movement has exploded far beyond “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” and now brings us everything from bamboo towels and cork ear-buds to biodegradable clothing.

Luckily, we’ve come a long way from Birkenstocks and hemp t-shirts, and as fashion continues to embrace the concept to GO GREEN – the idea of Eco-Chic becomes more and more wearable.

Not convinced? Check out the list below for Earth-friendly fashions that scream anything BUT tree-hugger:

H&M’S CONSCIOUS COLLECTION – Cheap clothes don’t necessarily have to mean cheap materials… on April 14th, H&M launches their Conscious Collection – proving that even corporate giants can have a heart.
