Veganista (UPDATE)

Eco-conscious fashion expands beyond hippie-era hemp bracelets

Implications - There was once a time when eco-conscious fashion strictly referred to hippie-style hemp bracelets and bamboo sandals, but the modern “veganista” can be environmentally responsible without sacrificing style. With the use of organic cotton, upcycled materials and high end design, vegan fashion has never been so fashionable.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycling - Upcycling is becoming more and more popular as it positively contributes to the world's eco-friendly movement. Corporations may benefit from releasing a line of upcycled items to compliment their existing line of products.
2. Sustainable Fashion - As much of the world is facing environmental issues that include pollution and depletion of resources, there is an increase in eco-friendly fashion trends. Businesses can explore this sector to design sustainable products while promoting environmentally conscious practices.
3. Vegan Fashion - The focus of fashion has shifted towards eco-friendliness and sustainability in a number of ways. This has led to a rising trend of vegan fashion; businesses can explore plant-based fibers and other vegan materials to create their products, thereby avoiding unethical practices.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry can look into various sustainable alternatives to maintain ethical practices and promote eco-friendliness.
2. Beauty and Skincare Industry - Beauty and skincare companies can shift their focus towards producing eco-friendly and vegan products that promote sustainability, ethical practices and have minimum negative impact on the environment.
3. Accessories Industry - The accessories industry can explore upcycling items as a way to promote environmentally friendly practices while creating unique and trendy items.
