[Design and Technology] Ethical Clothing article - Choice magazine

[Jill Livett]

Hi all Fashion and Textiles teachers (and other PD&T teachers)
Choice magazine has recently published an article on ethical clothing that has good information about the issues and a rating of a number of clothing retailers.
Go to the following link (I think this is freely accessible at the moment - download and save it while you can):
http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/food-and-health/beauty-and-personal-care/clothing/ethical-fashion.aspx

The article also points to a more detailed report on the Australian Fashion sector carried out by Baptist World Aid Australia
http://baptistworldaid.org.au/assets/Be-Fair-Section/FashionReport.pdf

Both articles could be used to explore issues related to the social aspect of Sustainability and ethical decision making.
Hope these articles help in this complex area of the curriculum
All the best
Jill
