Environmentally Friendly / Green Fashion Design Resources

Hi everybody, I'm very interested in using only environmentally friendly resources for my fashion designs and know there are a lot of you out there who would like to have this information as well. Specifically I'm looking for the following...

- eco-friendly textiles (from fancy to plain/heavy weight to gauzy) that are:
organic
don't use harmful chemical dyes, bleaches or finishes
cruelty free
were produced in a 'water conscious' way

- eco-friendly notions
thread
trimmings (lace, ribbon, piping etc)
interfacings/linings etc
zippers
buttons (attractive, recycled non-synthetic or other wise durable
eco-friendly alternatives)

- eco-friendly fabric dyes or methods and fabric paints

If you could advise and/or share your information, links, opinions and even ideas on this matter I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you all in advance,

Have a wonderful day,

Ayisha

 

Thank you so much Lucysv! I'm in the process of putting together an Eco-Friendly Fashion resource website and this may be very helpful. Thank you again.

This is an awesome eco-friendly initiatvie, I do wish they had an online version of their magazine, I wasn't able to find one, although looking up the designers will be helpful.

You wouldn't happen to have their link?

Thank you Lucysv

 

Thanks Kaitlyn Aliano, that will be a good link to add to my site as well.
