The Woodland trend direction focuses on woodlands, its ecosystems and a fashionable approach to “green” apparel. A woodland is a vegetative commu-nity living and non-living things, including animals, trees, shrubs, and ground cover. It is defined by the predominant tree species, location, soil, water and temperature. Several layers of life depend on each other to maintain the woodland environment.

According to a recent article published by www.wilderness.org.au, the Great Western Woodlands is the largest remaining intact temperate woodland in the world. The Western Australia Museum and Birds Australia atlas database has recorded 49 mammal species, 138 reptile species, 14 frog species and 215 bird species in the region. The preservation of the Great Western Woodlands is likely to be particularly critical to the long-term survival of birds that inhabit this woodland.

The value of woodlands is vast. These benefits include energy savings for homes in these areas. Tree canopies protect homes from heat and lower average home temperatures by 5-10 degrees. Home and commercial building energy usage is a major issue for many modern societies. Geothermal and green roofing systems are a couple measures that are being implemented to help preserve energy in populated cities. Better air quality is another benefit of woodlands. Cooler air temperatures created by a mature tree canopy helps to reduce smog, and a mature tree can absorb 120-240 lbs of small particles and gases of air pollution.

The fashion industry has made significant moves toward creating ecological-friendly apparel processes. The greening of the apparel industry is a signifi-cant and evolving trend that is likely to affect every facet of this enormous global industry. Under both internal and external pressure to reduce the en-vironmental impact of growing, processing, treating and dyeing fibers and to eliminate exploitation and inequities in labor practices, in recent years apparel companies have been eager to show consumers a new, sustainable approach to fashion without sacrificing style or profit.

The Woodland trend takes inspiration from Erin Fetherston, a fashion design-er known for her signature feminine, whimsical and romantic sensibility. Her fall 2013 collection was inspired by nature. Erin was noted on www.WWD.com as saying her collection is, “Celebration of the human spirit and our connec-tion to the natural world, conjuring visions of a new age fairy tale.”

The Woodland trend direction works within a color palette that is edgy with an emphasis on a green lifestyle for kids. This whimsical theme shows an array of animals typically found in woodlands around the world and draws fabric inspiration from our natural habitat.
