Hot looks, Cool for the planet

Green and recycled materials have become the new hot thing with designers, who are increasingly taking advantage of recycled and found materials, along with fabrics made form renewable resources. Hemp is no longer just for the granola crowd and designers incorporating new fabrics such as soy silk, tencel/lyocell (made from wood byproducts), micro-modal (made from beech pulp) and bamboo.

We’ve found a dozen designers â€“ many of them Canadian success stories â€“ whose collections are carried in stores across Canada. Check out the green designer collections weâ€™ve found that will make you green in heart while your friends go green with envy.

JUZD (short for Juiced) was the first bamboo designer label. Said to be inspired by the legend of 1898, when the African Mountain Gorillas were discovered, each shirt in the JUZD collection has an exclusive design and is made from organic bamboo fabric. All JUZD T-shirts, such as the ones above, retail for $100 at Holt Renfrew stores across Canada. You can also buy their shirts directly from their website at http://www.juzd.com/.
