last longer than a season. What makes
a piece versatile? Think timeless, simple,
well-constructed, no crazy prints. (Ten

GO VINTAGE
Try shopping in a vintage / consignment
store. You’ll be amazed by the things you
can find and you’re almost guaranteed to
rule the party with tales of your garments’
past life!

Remember that as the ultimate consumer
in a long chain of events, the power of

So here it is: our clothes are begging to
tell us a unique story. It’s about what
they’re made of, the people who crafted
them and in what conditions they’re
forced to work in. It ‘s about the present
and the future of our fellow humans and
of our one and only Planet. The question
is: will you listen to the story?

Find garments made with organic and
eco-friendly materials! This category
is growing quickly and dressing ‘green’
has never been more glamorous and
beautiful! Forget the days when ecoclothing meant looking like a walking
burlap sack! Designers are doing
awesome contemporary fashion with a
green soul.
By the way, on oreeko.com I showcase
every month an “Eco Look” highlighting
different styles and the latest trends - all
green, eco-friendly or sustainable. You’ll
be amazed at the amazing quality and
variety you’ll find!
