Some people choose clothing based solely on its appearance without considering the unique energy of the garments and how they can actually impact one's emotions and whether the production of them doesn't jeopardize the environment. One key aspect of fashion alchemy is the art of consciously selecting clothing for the positive energy or other characteristics of the fabrics to produce a holistically positive wearing experience.
Ancient Indian civilizations recognized that fabrics and textiles have their own energies several thousand years ago as evidence by the Sanskrit word"Ayurvastra" which translates to mean "healthy clothes" and refers to wearing apparel being able to have an impact on the spirituality and vitality of those who wear it. A fabric's characteristics come from its physical and chemical properties, source, and texture.
The natural softness of cotton is believed to have the ability to attract positive energy to the wearer and help keep negative vibrations away. Silk possesses numerous healing abilities such as preventing infections and keeping skin healthy, as it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Organically grown bamboo is also antibacterial in nature and repels odors.
As a synthetic textile, polyester is derived from petroleum, but today some manufacturers are producing a variation that is made from recycled materials that is more eco-friendly. Many vintage shops will resell classic polyester fashions too, which is another form of recycling itself. Lyocell is a fabric made from wood pulp that is processed in a environmentally friendly way and it does not wrinkle, so no ironing is required.
Soy oil byproducts are now being used to make soft, silky garments such as underwear and brassieres, its long fibers being naturally suitable for this. Hemp is another crop that is most often grown organically, is possibly antibacterial, and is highly versatile in its uses, being used for both rugged and soft material manufacture.
Most often used for sweaters, cashmere is made from the combed out hair of the Kashmir goat. That which is pure cashmere, not blended with synthetic fibers, processed or dyed with harsh chemicals is very strong and may stand up to years of wear. Linen is a breathable, lightweight material processed from flax, which can usually be grown organically, and is perfect for summer.
Alpaca sheep, which are the source of alpaca wool used for clothing, are usually raised without receiving any kind of injections or hormones, making their wool relatively pure and it is also durable and stays looking good for years if well cared for. A fabric called Ingeo can be made from fermented plant sugars, which does not require as much energy to process as cotton does.
Fabrics can act as a source of comfort, energy, and even benefits to one's health. It's best to select clothes made from those materials which have undergone less processing because they don't damage the environment as much when they are being manufactured. Recycling garments in used clothing stores rather than throwing them out is another way people can do their part to look out for the environment.
