Many thought that green fashion would come and go, but (in the spirit of Sarah Palin) – it just ain’t so. The fact of the matter is that green fashion is here to stay, and some designers are really taking their organic designs all the way.

Want to find out where you can buy a great pair of green jeans? How about some environmentally friendly tee’s? Check out the list below for some designers that are keeping green in the fashion scene.

Tierra Del Forte

You may not have heard about Del Forte Denim, but fashion designer Tierra Del Forte is really making a splash with her line of organic denim. While these jeans are considered “luxury” items (yes, they will cost you a few pennies), there is a positive (eco-friendly) side to this green equation – when your Del Forte jeans become tattered and worn, you can send them back to the manufacturer for “Project Rejeaneration” where they will be reused and renewed.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney has been on the green radar even before being green was popular. A very strict vegetarian, Stella McCartney is a strong animal rights activist…and she also happens to make some stellar clothes. Her designs are on the expensive side, but they are worth every cruelty-free penny. In addition, you can now find her great link of skincare products that are filled to the brim with purely organic ingredients.

Gary Harvey

Gary Harvey is a name that might not be known to a lot of fashionistas…but, you may have worn one of his creations before. Harvey used to be the creative director at Levi Strauss. These days, Harvey is finding creative ways to reuse old clothing items.

Katharine Hamnett

If you love comfy tee’s than Katharine Hamnett is the one designer that you shouldn’t live without. Hanmett’s bold tee’s have really gained a lot of attention lately, since they are all about relaying powerful messages to the world. If there’s one tee that every girl must have in her closet, it’s a Hamnett tee.

So, you see, there are lots of eco-friendly fashion options out there. While some of them are best left on the runway, there are plenty of designers making user-friendly clothing that you can be proud to wear. If most of these designs are out of your budget, consider shopping at some local thrift stores – recycled clothing is one way to show your support for the environment.
