The transition to the usual suspects such as H & M , Zara and others, as it is lighter and often tempting.

Anna Litvak and her team have, however, made ​​to the Future Fashion Guide that everyone should have it so easy to get to eco-fair fashion . And so they have researched in the past six years, collected and fair fashion fairs in Berlin, attended the Ethical Fashion Show and the Green Showroom and have also found: eco-fashion is rarely as “ökig ” as is unfortunately often still present. On the contrary, things are cool, have nothing hidden and have earned an appealing presentation.

In 2011 , initial manufacturers have committed to convert to toxic free production , including Marks & Spencer and H & M. Here is a list of tested clothing and Ergennisse.
