Eco fashion

For me, it all started in 2008, watching Project Runway season 5. Leanne Marshall, the winner of Season 5 was the one that grabbed my attention. She uses hemp silk blend, organic cotton or pure silk in her creations. It was before applying to college and I think it had a sort of impact on my decision to follow an Art College. Here I am, two weeks before my graduation, thinking about sustainable fashion. 
What do you think about when you hear "eco fashion" or "sustainable fashion"?
"Sustainable fashion, also called eco fashion, is a part of the growing design philosophy and trend of sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of environmentalism and social responsibility. Sustainable fashion is part of the larger trend of sustainable design where a product is created and produced with consideration to the environmental and social impact it may have throughout its total life span, including its "carbon footprint". There are many factors when considering the sustainability of a material. The renewability and source of a fiber, the process of how a raw fiber is turned into a textile, the working conditions of the people producing the materials, and the marterials total carbon footprint." - Wikipedia says.
I will reveal the fact that my graduation collection is made entirely from organic cotton (I really could not find any in Romania, so I had to buy the fabrics from UK, but that's a whole different story). Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic product. 
Other sustainable materials would be: natural fibers (plant fiber or animal fiber), cellulose (jute, flax, abaca, bamboo, soy, corn, banana, pineapple, ramie and of course, cotton), protein (cashmere, silk, wool, angora, mohair, vicuna, llama, alpaca, camel), manufactured fabrics (lyocell, corn polymer) and the recycled fibers (made from scraps of fabrics collected from clothing factories, which are processed back into short fibres for spinning into a new yarn).

This post started in my mind not to teach you things about eco fashion, there are great sites on the web for that, but to show you a video that really made me think again about this sustainable fashion thing. In which way a new fabric would change today's fashion (that's already changing so fast)? We now are familiar with leather, hemp, silk, cotton, and the eco fashion is in bloom. But can you imagine including a dress made from green tea in your wardrobe? I sure can, and got my hopes up, thanks to great people like Suzanne Lee:





So what's your opinion on sustainable fashion and new fabrics? What new materials or fabric-related things do you think will be discovered in the near future?
