Frida Fashion comes out with recycled clothes!

Can somebody explain why there are so many awful new fashions out there? Do we
really need jackets with 20 zippers or shoes with fur? For years, I've been waiting for
somebody to create a fashion trend that was about more than just appearances. And Frida
Jones, the founder of Frida Fashion, has finally done this. She has designed and produced
a fascinating new clothing line that is made completely from recycled materials. So the
next time you plan to throw out your soda bottle or newspaper, you might want to think
again. Materials like these can now be used for making stylish, inexpensive clothing.

Ms. Jones has been designing amazing shirts, pants, dresses, and hats for 15 years.
Before she started Frida Fashion, Ms. Jones had been a clothing designer's assistant at a
dull fashion agency that was located in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She worked there for only
two months. On the day Ms. Jones was asked to serve her boss's daughter coffee and
throw out the trash, she decided to quit the boring job and go back to college in New
York to complete her fashion degree. And, soon afterward, she started to plan her future
company. Frida's new clothing line, Recycle Wear, is now sold in London, Paris, Berlin,
and New York.
