Sierra ClubRecycled clothing is the latest fashion

December 2007 

by Debbie Bulger Dressing Smartly Some of the best-dressed people on the Central Coast show their environmental savvy by shopping at recycled clothing stores. The options are many. There are thrift stores such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army, vintage clothing retailers, consignment stores, and yard sales. Sydney Nash of Santa Cruz has been finding bargains since her college days. “I feel so much better about being a consumer,” she enthuses. Although price was her first motivator, she is now acutely aware of how purchasing recycled clothing helps the environment. Often, older clothes are better made. Nash loves the silk Chinese jacket she found which was expertly constructed in the 1950s. “You can find well-known brands,” she pointed out. She was wearing a Banana Republic shirt paired with Eddie Bauer pants when The Ventana interviewed her. The whole outfit cost less than $10. Kathy Richman from Salinas has been finding recycled bargains for over 20 years. An elementary school teacher, Richman was originally attracted to second-hand stores because of the affordable children’s books she purchased to use in her classroom. “You just never know what you’re going to find,” Kathy said. “A couple of weeks ago I got a nice cashmere sweater for $3.25! Shopping at recycling stores enables me to purchase quality items that would be beyond my budget if new.” Richman likes the idea of her purchases not contributing to our culture of excessive commercialism. Her two adult daughters are following in her footsteps by also shopping at resale stores. A glance at the phone book will reveal a plethora of places to shop while actively recycling. Check the yellow pages under “Consignment Service” and “Thrift Shops.”

What is Fashion Recycling?

Fashion, a general term for a currently popular style or practice, especially in clothing, foot wear or accessories. Fashion references to anything that is the current trend in look and dress up of a person. The more technical term, costume, has become so linked in the public eye with the term "fashion" that the more general term "costume" has in popular use mostly been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing generally, and the study of it. 
Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.^[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.
From Wikipedia

Fashion Renewed is simply recycled fashions.  They repeat every 20 years anyway, so why not get a jump on the next one?
