The term "eco-fashion" refers to stylized clothing that uses environmentally friendly fabrics and responsible production techniques. These green clothes are usually made in sweatshop-free settings, with natural fibers, and organic raw materials, such as cotton harvested without pesticides.

Until recently, environmental consciousness and fashion sense did not go hand and hand. At New York Fashion Week in 2005, the nonprofit group EarthPledge teamed up with Barneys to sponsor a special runway event called Future Fashion. At this event, famous and up-and-coming designers presented clothing made from eco-friendly fabrics and materials including hemp and recycled bamboo. This event skyrocketed the emerging green trend into the fashion world.

Currently, ambitious individuals such as Lindy Boynton are finding ways to integrate a love for the environment with fashion in her boutique, Migrate Home. This first green boutique in San Diego offers fashionable, environmentally-friendly clothing for women, men and babies, as well as jewelry and home accessories. At Migrate Home, you will only find items created with natural dyes, organically grown fibers and recycled materials. Clothing lines include Edun, Loomstate, Stewart + Brown, Twice Shy, Toms Shoes, Simple, Kim White and Bambu. This way you can still be fashionable and help the environment at the same time.
