Could It Be Anything But Green?

“The seventeenth of March. In other words, spring. Desmond, people who think themselves smart, I mean those in the height of fashion, women or men – can they afford to wait any longer before buying their spring wardrobes?”
Colette

On a day like this – could fashion be anything but green?

And because green is such a beautiful colour here is another link, Jude’s Life in Colour where lots more green posts can be found this month.

I don’t know what was better – the individual attention to each garment (for those that could afford it) or our mass produced wares (but available for the masses).  In any case, a lot of our fashion of yesterday ends up here:

It is probably the better option compared to simply throwing used clothes and shoes in the garbage although there are issues with this kind of recycling, too.  If I can I rather pass on my no longer used fashion items to an organisation where I know they will be worn in Germany and don’t end up destroying indigenous industries in third world countries.  Or I wear them until they fall apart and end up as cleaning rags.
