When Fashion Gets Ethical

Edited by Retrochick ^[2]

The ethics of Fashion can be a blurry area. With so much to think about when we buy, from construction to provenance, how can we pick our way through such a minefield of issues and emerge with our ethics intact?

We all have a duty as consumers to be as informed as possible about the purchases we make, and this weeks Links à la Mode can help. Amongst this weeks picks Fashion in My Eyes ^[3] talks about locally made fashion, Style Eyes ^[4] discusses Organic Cotton, Hello Beauty ^[5] buys some recycled sneakers, Oranges and Apples ^[6] sorts the wheat from the chaff in second hand clothing and Shrimp Salad Circus ^[7] brings you natural make up.

Once your done being educated we also have a good smattering of fashion frivolity to be getting on with too, and there’s even more on the original forum thread ^[8]!
