Having worked in the fashion industry for a number of years now, I’ve become a little disillusioned with the never ending cycle of clothing production and the lack of real efforts to ensure the safety of the people involved in the supply chain. I believe the tides are changing and in the near future, the now marginalized concept of ethical fashion will become as normal as paying a levy for plastic bags or adhering to the smoking ban in public places. A small number of people have been pushing this agenda for years but the numbers are growing. I’m jumping on the bandwagon, who’s with me?

Hi – Thanks for subscribing
Its interesting to read the work coming from a different angle. Love you review of Lucy Siegle’s book.
Have you read Naila Kabeer’s ‘the power to choose’ – offers a really interesting account of the actual day to say experiences and realities of working in clothing and footwear export production factories in Bangladesh. Really eye opening.
Best Wishes,
Eleanor xx
