ETHICAL FASHION Ever wanted to know how your clothes were made? Sometimes it's hard to get the answers to want, it seems that the huge fashion lables are making their profits riding on the backs of their most vulnerable workers. And most of this corruption goes unnoticed, unmonitered. Being fifteen I am at the target age of many fashion lables, so to get my concern through I started writing letters to some of the major lables I believed were responsible, and the results were interesting. Most of the companies were very vague and evasive, not answering I have decided to create this group so that people can get together and discuss their opinions and solutions to ethical clothes issues. So join For Fair Fashion and let me know any suggestions you have or proposals you would like to make .........................................................................................................................................................................
