Editor Jaime Neely Counts Down Her Favorite Biodegradable Products in Fashion

Consumers are becoming more and more conscious of the impact they have on the planet and so companies are creating a slew of innovative biodegradable products that are stylish, desirable and good for the environment. Trend Hunter's Senior Editor Jaime Neely discusses her top picks for compostable couture.

Many fashion crazes come and go leaving us with garments that we are looking to throw away because we no longer wear them. Creating clothing and accessories that are biodegradable is a great way to allow the consumer to live out the lifespan of the product and then dispose of the product in a way that is safe and environmentally friendly. One innovative example are these intricate compostable wedding gowns by Erin Smith are made from fungi and natural plant matter are chic as well as fully compostable.
