Ethically-sourced materials are starting to play a vital role in fashion design across the globe, as people are becoming increasingly environmentally aware and are seeking to live greener, more sustainable lifestyles. Individuals are going back to basics in a sense by using natural materials and renewable resources and looking back at traditional lifestyles, where clothes were made from our surroundings and materials were, for the most part, cheaper and easier to find. The world of swimwear fashion is no different, with the use of modern, sustainable materials spurring innovative swimwear design.
Nowadays, brands are catching on to the benefits of sustainable swimwear, and implementing ethical materials in their swimwear. For example, Atoms is a company located in Los Angeles, USA. In March, it was announced that Atoms had created the world's first sustainable swimwear made from PLA plastic--farming corn instead of using fossil fuels. The company has pledged to make as many sustainable materials as possible without compromising on style.
The term ethical materials used to describe different swimwear materials that have not been sourced such as plastics or fibers created from the harvesting and/or the use of animal and renewable materials. These materials, some of the which are cotton, polyester and nylon, are used for their resistance to chlorine and flattering qualities for the skin. In addition to the aforementioned qualities, there are other benefits to buying ethical fabrics that are recycled or created from animal fibers. Ethical materials are usually more durable than synthetic ones, and keep people from ridding the oceans of cosmetics.
