Among the fashion trends of recent times, plastic cannot be ignored. PVC clothes confidently fill the catwalks and our wardrobes. In recent seasons, even the most luxurious brands offer PVC dresses, skirts and other women's clothing.

Everyone's favorite Balmain in new collections demonstrates plastic things on the most successful top models. And journalists of glossy publications are vying with each other to write rave reviews, where PVC is adjacent to such words - high-tech, innovative, space-age material, futuristic, etc.

Balmain clothes and many other brands are really beautiful and fashionable. In some cases, PVC dresses, skirts and jumpsuits look just as good as patent leather, which is very tempting for vegetarians and animal advocates. But let's take a deeper look and see how high-tech this material is and how it helps to preserve nature.




Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cannot be classified as high-tech materials, and even more so as futuristic. This is the oldest type of plastic, it is almost 200 years old! The first samples of polyvinyl chloride were obtained back in 1835. Over the years, wherever the material has not been used, including in the fashion industry.

Dresses, skirts and other plastic clothing are not new. This fashion trend has already been on the catwalks. It's just that the rejection of natural materials, such as leather and fur, is gaining popularity now. The fashion trend is presented as animal care, ethical consumption, protection of nature and concern for the future of planet Earth.



mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ has nothing against fashionable PVC dresses, they are not the most practical, but they have their own charm and help in creating interesting images. But only very narrow-minded people can think that buying plastic dresses, they take care of animals and protect nature. Even a dress made of genuine leather, not to mention cotton dresses, is more environmentally friendly than the "innovative" PVC.

Plastic harms the environment at all stages of its existence, starting with production, when toxic substances are formed. But the main problem associated with the use of polyvinyl chloride is the difficulty of its disposal. Normal, incomplete combustion of PVC can produce carbon monoxide and toxic compounds.

In conclusion, it is important to remember that polypropylene is used for the manufacture of water pipes, and "high-tech" PVC has been used for sewer pipes for many years. Therefore, you should not think that a dress made of this wonderful material helps to take care of nature and makes you a girl from the future. This trend is beneficial only to manufacturers, because fashionable clothes and plastic accessories cost mere pennies and bring a lot of profit.




1. PVC clothes are not practical, they are afraid of cold and direct sunlight. Some additives can compensate for changes in plastics, such as reflective dyes.

2. Plastic clothing and accessories harm the environment at all stages of their lives, from production to disposal.

3. With an insignificant cost price, things are sold at inflated prices, especially if they are clothes or accessories from the current collection of Balmain, Chanel ...

The latest Balmain collection is beautiful, I love the work of Olivier Rousteing and always look forward to showing the new collection. But I don’t want to buy things made of plastic that is outdated in every sense, especially considering the price. It is better to buy a patent leather dress and wait for the materials of the XXI century to appear in fashion. It is unfair when things made of plastic, which are almost 200 years old, are called innovative and high-tech.
