Eco Fashion Basics

Stylish LBDs for Conscientious Consumers

— January 10, 2010 — Eco
Combine the credit crunch with environmental concerns and a desire for fashion and you have conditions that are a perfect storm for an eco fashion basic in the form of the little black dress.

The LBD has mythical status among the fashion conscious, but now, it makes even more sense. A number of eco-friendly materials and fashionable styles as well as affordable pricing--less than $100--are pushing the little black dress onto the hangers of frugal fashionistas everywhere.

Implications - Black is one of the most versatile colors when it comes to fashion and dresses ooze feminine appeal. These two facts combined with the new world of wallet-friendly and eco conscious options sheds light on how the little black dress we've known and loved for so long, won't be leaving racks anytime soon.
Trend Themes
1. Eco Fashion - Exploring eco-friendly materials and sustainable fashion styles for LBDs presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry.
2. Affordable Fashion - Promoting affordable pricing for little black dresses (LBDs) under $100 disrupts traditional high-end fashion and appeals to frugal fashionistas.
3. Minimalist Fashion - Embracing the versatility of black and the timeless appeal of dresses opens opportunities for minimalist LBD designs and promotes sustainable fashion practices.
Industry Implications

2. Sustainable Fashion - Promoting sustainable and eco-conscious fashion options for LBDs disrupts the traditional fashion industry and appeals to conscientious consumers.
3. Fast Fashion - The fast fashion industry can explore affordable and eco-friendly options for LBDs, offering disruptive innovation and appealing to budget-conscious consumers.
