From Birkenstock to Bloomingdale's, environmentally conscious companies have been raising their profiles in the fashion industry. This past decade has witnessed the birth of eco-fashion - stylized clothing that uses environmentally sustainable materials and responsible production techniques. But is eco-fashion really as sensitive as it claims to be, or is this just another superficial fashion hype? What are the forces driving eco-fashion forward? Will consumers always have to balance fashion against sustainability and cost? And if so, what factors affect these decisions? A panel of industry experts - including fashion designers and boutique owners - discusses the eco-fashion movement, its attributes and its future.
