Eco Trends IdentityEco Trends is a concept for a brand of women’s work attire made from organic fibers.

Created Fall 2010
clothing made fromorganic bambooThe growing process of organic bamboo helpsprevent erosion because the roots grow deeplocking soil into place. Bamboo grows very fast, maturing in only three to five years andthere is no competition among the stalks ofbamboo like there is among trees. Bamboo alsogives off 35 % more oxygen than the same sizearea of trees.
clothing made fromorganic cottonThe growing process of organic cotton buildsstrong soil through crop rotation. Due to theincreased amount of organic matter in the soil,organic cotton retains water more efficiently, requiring less water. Organic cotton is not genetically modified at all and uses beneficial insects to control pests instead of insecticide.
clothing made fromorganic soySoy requires no pesticides to grow and is often grown to replenish the nutrients in the soil. Proteins for clothing production are extractedfrom the residual by-product of soybean oil or toful production. Soy is stronger than wool, silk or cotton and has better ventilation thancotton. It retains warmth well and does notshrink or wrinkle.
