What is sustainable design in terms of fashion ? • Fashion that leaves the least impact on the environment throughout it's Lifespan, that is, from creation through it's long life and once it reaches it's usable life's end. • Designers and Brands must be aware of the energy it uses, carbon footprint, waste, transportation and the end of life strategies.

These clothes can be recycled and reused. • Local weavers and artists can be involved for hand weaving techniques. • All dyes used must be natural and should have no impact on the environment.
Eco-friendly ways of Producing Fashion • The usage of organic, chemical free fabrics must increase. • Consumers need to be aware of how sustainable fashion will help the planet. It can be done by attaching little booklets of recycled paper, with information about eco friendly fashion. • Using Fabrics like Organic Cotton, Jute, Bamboo, Tencel, Cork, Organic linen is a smart way to start off an eco friendly collection • Fabrics like Jute and Organic Cotton are widely grown in places like Tamil Nadu and the Bengal Delta. • A 100 per cent denim line for women and men can be introduced.
