'Zady' Now Provides Ethical and Sustainable Fashion for Men and Women
Cadhla Gray — October 31, 2015 — Eco
The socially and environmentally friendly clothing line 'Zady' has now begun to create locally sourced and eco-friendly fashion for men as well.
The start-up company has become successful as more consumers become interested in where their clothing comes from. Fast fashion degrades both our environment as well as the people making it, who work for minuscule, if any, wages. Zady opposes this fast fashion culture, making pieces that are meant to last and have classic styles.
The new eco-friendly fashion for men was designed in response to a realization that there were men buying the women's clothing in larger sizes. Zady now offers pieces like a button up dress shirt for men made from USDA organic cotton with mother of pearl buttons.
