How fashion can be eco-friendly

Environmentally-conscious fashion isn’t a brand-new idea, but it’s only in the last decade that it’s developed into a full-scale ethical fashion movement. Could environmentally-conscious fashion be a trend that's here to stay?

We look at the next "jeaneration": denim manufacturers who favour laser technology over toxic chemicals to give jeans the fashionable "distressed" look.

And we discover an Ethiopian fashion success story. SoleRebels were inspired by traditional hand-made sandals, but these are made from recycled car tyres.

We also take a trip to the Netherlands, to see how a Dutch company is making eco-friendly clothing from stinging nettles.
