With the world coming face to the dire consequences of not so environment friendly product usage, the rise in demand of green products is creating competition in supply! An evidence is the supermarket phenomenon as they try to offset their eco-unfriendly activities and make it bigger and better than their contemporaries.

Sainsbury, UK’s major supermarket chain, has unveiled a collection of clothing range made entirely from their plastic. Using recycled customers plastic bottles and packaging, this range will be put up for sale in 250 stores nationwide. Everything from pants to skirts to shirts will be showcased later this year adding another reason to believe of plastic as the textile of future.

Suddenly plastic beauty is not a negative term anymore!

Long back, when still in my high school, I really was inspired by Wordsworth and Keats. In case of Keats, it was sheer magic, unadulterated honesty, the pain and the pleasure in beauty that captivated you. In case of Wordsworth though, it was more his undying love for nature and nature in its most vibrant hues that mesmerized you. He always told that the best place to live in is the lap of nature and professed a lifestyle that kept nature close to your heart. Now we are taking that concept a step further or rather, we are testing it to the farthest point possible. Here is nature clothing and it comes in the form of eco-friendly lingerie.

Yup, now your wardrobe can get completely eco-friendly with a new range of lingerie and boxers-cum-knickers made from white pine tree pruning. This new fashion line is designed by Sophie Young and it is obviously for those young and restless at heart; those who wish to dare try something new. Basically, the garment is made from wood or that is what one can say. Now at this point one can make plenty of jokes about ‘wood’ and ‘undergarments’, but I will be the bigger man and pass on that.
