Rapanui's eco-chic underwear
Filed under: Style in the News, Swimwear and Lingerie, Style for a Cause
A lot of designers take the position that fashion is all about looks and nothing about ethics. That's how we get things like the bacon bra -- where could you possibly find a less eco-friendly piece of underwear? If you're willing to get intimate with the problems that face our planet, you can start by exchanging your old-school undies for some eco-friendly underpants. Rapanui makes ethical cotton underwear for men and women. They're a bit on the basic side, but simple is beautiful. The breathable, hypo-allergenic cotton is grown on reclaimed commercial farms where Rapanui works to remove all chemical deposits from the previous owners' operations. This soft fabric is not only gentle on you skin, but also on environment -- since it's factories are powered by wind and solar energy. Rapanui also imposes a 5% eco-tax on itself that it puts towards other environmental causes and organizations.

"Eco-friendly" used to be synonymous with "fashion disaster," but now that designers -- from the internationally acclaimed to the up-and-coming independents -- are turning their efforts toward more sustainable attire, it's no wonder that going green is eco-chic.
