I am currently doing my MA from central saint martins and trying to see how ethical fashion can be designed as a system to a developing country. The reason being is that I see Pakistan's fashion industry not in a good situation, as in not famous for anything special when looking at it in context. And this was where I approached it towards ethical fashion as a possible unique selling proposition. I have been introduced to this subject area quit recently and keen taking it to the next level. Would you consider the industry itself could be a product of ethics that needs to be sold locally? Since it has not been discussed I am interested in terms of this ethical approach upon the local designers and how they can be part of this ethical movement. Would like to hear your views and your feedback. Take Care

Regards,
Sarah Saeed

Thanks very much, I'm glad you like the photos. I love my photographer :) He's fab. And thanks for the idea about the blog. I will have a look at it and post something on the site when I get my shop online, it's nearly ready to go. V. excited.

It's great to be on here, it looks like a great source of information. I had been meaning to get over to some of the sourcing events you held but didn't get a chance. They sounded excellent. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any more that are coming up. Well done on all the great work.

Best wishes,
Julie-Anne

Thanks for the welcome message! Sorry for the delay in my response I have been very busy but we should have a full team in place next week at our shops so I am hoping to start researching more about linking my groups out in Kolkata with designers...and adding to the blog!

I will be up at Rich Mix on Tuesday evening and hopefully will get to meet you.

kind regards,
Siobhan

EFF is great. It gives a focus to people like us working in way out places and firmly believing in and promoting sustainable textile movement.

signed up, created a page etc. and contacted Jackie that way, hope she gets back.
Just wondering where you think the obstacles are to more widespread use of organic cotton, especially by designers.

I get so many different answers from designers, it is amazing how organic cotton is still perceived as unsuitable for high end luxury fabrics...

Best regards
Nina
PS I tried to send this via a message from my account but that did not seem to work...
