As Fashion Director for Fashion Fights Poverty, it is my job to understand the eco and ethical fashion world. Although these fabrics have been around for a few years, I came across them today in talks with a potential designer. In doing some research, I found that these fabrics are
bio-based fiber which means their creation doesn't involve the exploitation
of the
environment in its production and they are biodegradable. Modal and Bamberg have been described as "they look like [silk] chiffon, [but are] super-sophisticated." While Ingeo (which literally means "ingredients from the earth") on the other hand, is the world's first commercially viable synthetic fiber
derived entirely from renewable resources.
For designers who are considering going eco, these might be fabric choices you would consider using. Below are some garments made out of these fabrics.
