Make Diffrent With Colourfull Fashion

The "Stylist's Corner" will debut three videos throughout September, each showcasing a different fall look styled by Kotsiopoulos using pieces made with plastics based fabrics. The videos will also be accompanied by additional exclusive fashion content on PlasticsMakeItPossible.com--including behind-the-scenes photos from the video shoot, blog posts from Kotsiopoulos about his favorite fall trends, and Kotsiopoulos' answers to a few most frequently asked style questions.

"So many of our hottest fall trends this year are made possible by plastics," Kotsiopoulos said. "One huge trend that I absolutely love right now is faux fur. It's been all over the runways this season, and what's great about it is that it can add a luxurious feel to a look, but at the same time, it's animal friendly, durable and affordable because it's made with plastic based fibers."

Also this month, PlasticsMakeItPossible.com will feature a new "What to Wear On ..." series that helps readers put together the perfect outfits for a variety of occasions and outings such as:

The Gym: A fitness bra made from plastic fabrics such as nylon and spandex® will fit comfortably and wick moisture away from your skin. A pair of stretch leggings will move with you, dry quickly, and flatter your figure, thanks to a polyester and nylon blend made possible by plastic. And no gym outfit is complete without a pair of no-show, acrylic socks that will help prevent blisters thanks to the exceptional softness of plastic fabrics.

A Night Out: A wrap dress made from a stretch polyester fabric stays form-fitting and flattering while you dance the night away. Give your look some extra sparkle with a pair of heels covered with glittering, plastic sequins. Add a handbag made from recycled plastic bottles, and your look will be stylish and good for the environment.

A Casual Weekend: A great pair of fitted jeans goes with everything and flatters your figure, thanks to spandex, a plastic blend used to add stretch to fabric. A colorful graphic T-shirt made with recycled polyester is soft, durable, and great for running errands around town. And a pair of edgy aviator plastic sunglasses is the perfect way to add some extra style to even the most casual of outfits.

"Plastic based fabrics play such a big role in fashion--probably more than most people realize--and this season's most stylish looks are no exception," said Steve Russell, vice president of plastics for the American Chemistry Council. "Acrylic coats and sweaters, faux fur, micro-suede, fleece and many other fashions are made with plastic fibers that provide durability and warmth for cooler weather."

From the stretch in our jeans, to the sweat-wicking fabrics in our gym clothes, to the sequins on our formal gowns, plastics play a major role in a diverse array of our most popular fashions.
