Does Fashion has an effect on Geography?. Let's found out how fashion has an effect on geography. While surfing on the internet I came across a article called How Climate Change Will Affect What We Wear and it intrigue me. It is written by an Starshine Roshell.
Scientists researches how clothing affects the climate. On the other hand experts like Trend-watcher's researching how climate change or affect our clothing. It is hard to imagine how our clothes affect the climate.
"People think of fashion as the stuff you buy and wear," said Jo Paoletti, a University of Maryland professor who studies clothing trends. "But it's an entire process from the raw material to the making of fibers into yarns and then into fabrics, to manufacturing them into clothing and transporting it to where it's sold. There are energy costs all along the way".
Our clothes aren't instantly clothes. They are going through a lot of processes before It'll become a shirt or a dress that we could wear. According to the article that I've read 96 percent of the clothes in America we're made and manufactured somewhere else, which is usually in Asia. Manufacturing clothes costs a lot of energy bills because they are going to a lot of processes and procedure before they get distributed from the consumers or companies. A typical washing machine produces 160 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. 25 times of washing a simple T-shirt is equal to 60 percent of greenhouse gases and typical dryer for clothes generates 700 pounds. There are also chemicals and toxins used used in dry cleaning which affects our environment. Some stores started selling eco-friendly clothes like an underwear that is made out of bamboo fibers and some man-made fiber too that are 100 percent renewable.

"There is no strong difference between summer and winter anymore," Milan Fashion Week founder Beppe Modenese told The New York Times in September. "The whole fashion system will have to change."
During the fall season the place called Manhattan were struck by a unseasonably warm autumn. The sales of winter coats and clothing is pretty bad because of it. This warm climate affects fashion the sales and everything. The stores like Kohl's and Target had to hire climate experts to predict and give them signals what kind of clothes should they put in the store. Since it's been unseasonably warm they cannot sell coats because no one will buy it.
- Would you like to try and buy some clothes made out of eco-friendly materials like bamboo fiber?
- Do you think I'd be a great Idea to just replace all of the materials of clothes to eco-friendly ones?
FUTURE RESEARCH: Different types of fashion in different countries in accordance to climate, religion etc.
