Description
This short program examines 'ethical fashion' and focuses on the working conditions of the hidden people who make our clothes. The hosts illustrate the difference between minimum wage and a living wage while also discussing examples of modern slavery, child labor, threats to health and safety and environmental damage that are common throughout the fashion supply chain. Viewers are encouraged to consider buying from companies that are transparent in their labor practices and are Fair Trade and B Corporation certified.
