Eco Fashion Trend: Red and Black

December 18, 2009

 

 

Eco fashion has been green, but for the upcoming season it will be transforming into Red and Black. Designers such as Ada Zanditon, Elena Garcia and Sara Shepherd all have accents of red or black dominating their collections and it seems as if this trend is going walk right off the runways and straight into our wardrobes.

Red and Black appear to be a simple combination but when they are paired together with different textures, prints, and interesting shapes, the effect is definitely something to be desired for. The best thing about eco-fashion is that the items are often a lot more unique and so none of your friends would have seen them.

Below are some of the must have Red and Black themed items that all eco-fashionistas need to get there hands on!
