Hi Emily,
I'm a freelance designer and consultant by profession working on my own sustainable fashion range. I started writing my blog www.redesignforlife.blogspot.com as a journal of anything that inspired me creatively with a link to sustainability and fair trade in fashion and design. I also include posts on any innovative 'ethical' designers that catch my eye, as your work has done. You can contact me by email on redesignforlife@me.com
My name is Laricea Ioana Roman and I am a student at Kingston University, London (KU ID 0942659). I am doing a Master in Marketing, Advertising and Communications and at the moment I am writing my Dissertation. My topic is related to ethical clothing, more specifically, I am investigating how personal values influence customers' decision to buy ethical clothing. In order to come up with some answers for my topic, I need some opinions from people who actually bought ethical clothes.
This is the reason why I am kindly asking you to help me and fill in my questionnaire. It will take you no more than 10 minutes and you can win three books and £30 vouchers! http://kingston.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_bK3ZXJqdOsXtm4I
