Eco fashion has moved from a trend to a full scale movement; key voices within the industry are starting to call for a rethink on our extraordinary levels of clothes consumption. Lets be honest, we're all guilty of side stepping our eco-fashion conscience sometimes; it doesn't seem easy to be an eco goddess 100% of the time.
Tip Number 4 - Buy classic pieces that last
According to the Ecologist, the average woman spends £13,000 over a lifetime on clothes she doesn't wear. Martin Hearson from Labour Behind the Label says: "We don't want you to stop buying clothes, but if you buy them cheaply on the high street you are buying clothes made by workers whose rights are not respected. You are a stakeholder in the companies you buy from, and you should challenge them to do more to protect workers rights." Buy classic pieces that last and you'll provide less support for the sub-standard working conditions.
