Fashion trends have been there since man got civilized. From the picture below, we can clearly see that for every age, there was a certain fashion people used to follow. This is simply called a ‘trend’ in fashion.
A trend is the latest fashion at a certain point in time. In today’s fast-fashion world, trends change every season.
Spring, summer, fall, and winter are the conventional fashion seasons, although designers break these rules once in a while.
FASHION TODAY
Fashion is a way of expressing oneself. We speak to the world in the way we dress. And everyone has their own way of viewing the world.
(Steve Jobs in his iconic fashion statement)
The most important topic today is climate change. With a lot of efforts from people around the world, companies are being forced to find solutions to replace their old systems with innovative solutions to create new fashion trends that are friendly to the environment.
VEGAN CLOTHING?
Yes, you heard it right. Vegan clothing is the latest trend in fashion where all the garments are produced without animal products like leather and suede. It also bans the use of garments obtained through animal exploitation.

Consumers are not willing to bear the emotional and psychological cost each of these items bears, on top of the high price tag.
ETHICAL TRADE IN FASHION
Ethics in fashion is a holistic approach in which sourcing, manufacturing, and designing clothes have the maximum benefits to the society and industry at large.
Sustainability is the new way of doing business.
There are several not-for-profit and NGO bodies that certify manufacturers with such certification so that their consumers know their garments do not have a black mark on them.
Some of the certifications are the BCI COTTON, GOTS, OCS, GRS, and OEKO-TEX certifications. Dinesh Exports has all these certifications to ensure complete participation in the fight against climate change and ethical practices.
WHAT ARE SOME INNOVATIONS IN VEGAN TRENDS?
