Fashion with a sustainable bias

American clothing brand Eileen Fisher brings its new collection to Bangkok with a range of fashion for spring 2017 that’s the brand’s most “eco-friendly” to date.

A massive 73-per-cent of the collection utilises such eco materials as organic fibres, Tencel and Bluesign certified dyes.
Organic cotton too plays a major role, making up 97 per cent of the collection and the brand’s silk Georgette Crepe is certified for chemical, water and energy usage. Tencel, a sustainable fibre made from trees, is also under the spotlight. For this, wood pulp is converted into fibre using responsible chemicals that are recycled in an innovative closed-loop process. 
Undyed linen is also used more than ever before, in a variety of knits and wovens that include Heavy Organic Linen and Organic Handkerchief Linen. The colour is truly natural, with tone and texture that varies from season to season. The fibre grown by farmers who control weeds and pests naturally is used together with Silk Noil – a re-introduced rustic fabric that gets its texture from twisting short fibres left over from spinning.
The collection focuses on essential pieces to mix and match and is born from the belief that when you have the right pieces, you can create more with less. 
Eileen Fisher’s new collection is available at Central Chidlom.
