It’s no surprise that we love our sustainable style here at Inhabitat, and 2008 has been a particularly exciting year with bold new directions in green fashion and eco-textile innovation. From pollution sensitive dresses to ‘grow-your-own’ Icelandic moss jewelry, the frontier of eco fashion is continually digging deep to put a new spin on material resourcefulness and recycle-chic. ‘Be eco chic’ and ‘green is the new black’ may have been over-used mantras of 2008, but we all know now that sustainable style can be synonymous with sexy, must-have fashion that looks and feels totally fab. Read on for some of the best eco-collections and sustainable styles from 2008.
