How do we go about resolving the current problems inherent in clothing production?
August 24, 2011
Vast quantities of clothes are worn only — times and discarded. Someone, somewhere put time and effort into creating these cast offs with little reward. Clothing has become a symbol of peoples disregard for the actions of large businesses squeezing every last drop of profit out of these someones, somewhere. Actually we should recognise their skills and their right to make a living. Ethical labels are doing their best to change the relationship between the producer and the consumer in this incredibly tough economic climate. Everyone has a stake in the future of ethical consumerism and ethical fashion will only survive if it is supported; otherwise we will end up with a very small choice in the high street, of mega brands.The British have always fostered a creative design approach and fortunately there are great ethical designers optimistically coming our of art schools every year.
Give them something to be optimistic about and make an ethical purchase when you are able.
