Green is closely associated with nature and new growth, sustainability, wealth in addition to tranquility and peace amongst others. The green queen herself Stella McCartney’s launched her SS20 campaign, it is said to be her most sustainable collection to date. The campaign's editorial depicts forest greenery as a backdrop for the eco-friendly collection ‘Inspired by the power of plants’. Arguable Stella pioneers the sustainable fashion movement although she’s not alone in the green fashion quest. Many fashion brands both luxury and high street are creating multiple collections and timeless pieces with the colour green headlining the show. It would seem as though the world of fashion is journeying back to Eden, to bask in its growing green glory.
