What can fashion do to help the world?


Joanna DeVoe in Lucire Magazine says:

"On an individual level, it can strengthen one’s confidence and sense of self. On a global level, it has the capacity, if not yet the compassion, to abolish sweat-shop labour, supporting many, many people by paying fair, life-sustaining wages in trade for their craft."

It's fantastic to see comments like this in a fashion magazine. I love beautiful clothes and design, but it breaks my heart to see how little social sense there is in the fashion world. People rarely question where and how something is made. Go the Lucire team - I can't wait to see it out in print soon. You can download the August 2004 edition of Lucire for free.
