Green is spring’s color as designers go eco-chic

More people are asking whether what they choose to wear is created by companies with eco-friendly philosophies. Eco-fashion is one of the biggest trends of the decade, and designers are offering more stylish and affordable clothing as consumer demand rises. That's why Wake Forest's sustainability office and eco-designer Jenny Hwa are co-hosting a fashion show of eco-chic clothing and accessories.
