Today we live in a money driven culture with an underlying exploitation of workers behind the scenes of a so called 'glamorous' industry. Between the fibres on the field and the clothing on the rack, someone in the process of production has been ripped off. We may have no control over the big companies exploiting on-shore and off-shore workers but as the next generation of up and coming designers we have control over our contribution to the fashion industry. Personally i have alot of respect for Collette Dinnigan and her choice to design and sell clothes that have been produced ethically which is proof that one person can have such an influence on many to raise questions about our morals. At the end of the day it comes down to each individual designer and the ethics we stand by.
