當(dāng)時尚遇上環(huán)保

導(dǎo)讀：在某種程度上，時尚能夠反映一個時代的社會現(xiàn)狀。而在“可持續(xù)”“環(huán)保”等概念大行其道的今天，時尚也和環(huán)保擦出了新的火花……

When you open your closet， chances are that you will see some unwanted clothes lying in the corner. But instead of throwing them away， wouldnt you rather give them a second chance to shine？ Well， people around the world are doing just that.

This spring， upcycled denim and sustainable lace are gaining popularity. They are part of the “ethical” and “sustainable” trends that have become the biggest buzzwords in fashion in recent years， the Guardian reported.

Upcycling， according to sustainability website TriplePundit， is a way to process an old item to make it just as good， or even better， than it was originally. For example， you could turn some old pajamas into a new summer dress.

Among upcyclable fabrics， denim is one of the most comfortable and fashionable. Thats why many people like to create their own unique upcycled denim items， such as cutting a headband from a denim shirt.

Many fashion companies have also joined the trend. For example， there are upcycled denim companies that combine the spirit of vintage denim with the principles of sustainability. “For as long as denim has been around， we have found ways to reuse it and upcycle it，” US stylist Kelly Nagel told fashion website sulky.com. “Denim is such a great fabric for so many things， and I especially love it when it has been ‘worn-in. That is when denim has the most character.”

Lace is another timeless fabric that can be repurposed. According to the Guardian， it can be created from recycled fishing nets and other nylon waste products and used for making elegant dresses or beautiful decorations.

Indeed， fashion holds up a mirror to society. Now， the fashion industry cares not only about creating new looks， but also about its impact on the environment. “Choosing better fabrics is essential to us transforming this industry for the better，” Clara Vuletich， a Sydney-based sustainability expert， told the Guardian. “If you consciously decide to purchase clothes made using a recycled material or an exciting new fiber， such as cruelty-free leather made in a lab， you are supporting companies creating new markets， and avoiding the negative impacts associated with conventional textiles.”

當(dāng)你打開衣櫥時，很有可能會在角落里發(fā)現(xiàn)一些不想要的衣服。但與其將這些衣服扔掉，你難道就不想給它們一個重?zé)ü獠实臋C會嗎？而世界各地的人們正在這么做。

今年春季，升級再造的牛仔面料以及環(huán)保蕾絲大受歡迎。據(jù)《衛(wèi)報》報道，它們都屬于“道德”與“可持續(xù)”的風(fēng)尚，而這兩個詞近年來也成了時尚界的流行詞。

據(jù)可持續(xù)性業(yè)務(wù)資訊網(wǎng)站TriplePundit報道，升級再造是將舊物改造煥新，甚至進(jìn)行升級的一種方式。例如，你可以將一些舊睡衣改造成一條新的夏日連衣裙。

在升級再造的面料中， 牛仔布是最舒適、時尚的面料之一。這也是為何不少人喜歡創(chuàng)造自己獨特的升級再造牛仔單品的原因， 比如從牛仔襯衫上剪下一部分用作發(fā)帶。

許多時裝公司也加入了這一潮流。比如， 有不少進(jìn)行升級再造的牛仔服飾公司將牛仔衣的復(fù)古風(fēng)格與可持續(xù)原則結(jié)合起來。“只要手邊有牛仔布， 我們就能找到方法將其重新利用并升級再造。”美國設(shè)計師凱莉·納格爾在接受時尚網(wǎng)站sulky.com采訪時表示，“對于不少單品而言， 牛仔布都是極好的面料。我特別喜歡‘做舊的風(fēng)格， 那是牛仔布最有個性的特點了。”

蕾絲則是另一款能被改造的永不過時的面料。據(jù)《衛(wèi)報》報道， 回收的漁網(wǎng)以及其他廢棄的尼龍產(chǎn)品可以制成蕾絲， 并用于制作優(yōu)雅的連衣裙以及美麗的配飾。

時尚的確是面反映社會現(xiàn)狀的鏡子。如今，時尚產(chǎn)業(yè)不僅關(guān)注創(chuàng)造新造型，也關(guān)注其對于環(huán)境的影響。“選擇更好的面料至關(guān)重要，它能讓我們將時尚產(chǎn)業(yè)變得更好。”居住于悉尼的可持續(xù)專家克萊拉·威勒迪在接受《衛(wèi)報》采訪時表示，“如果你有意想買用回收材料或者激動人心的新纖維制成的衣服，比如在實驗室里制造出來的零殘忍皮革，你就是在支持企業(yè)創(chuàng)造新市場，并避免產(chǎn)生與傳統(tǒng)紡織品有關(guān)的負(fù)面影響。”
