Ethical fashion is a topic that's, to say the least... Vast. It's a bit like a rabbit hole: the deeper you dig, the more unexpected corners you find. But first, you have to find the entrance to the rabbit hole!
The idea behind this "Getting started" section is simple. First, it's about giving you the tools you need to understand what ethical fashion is, why it exists and how necessary it is today, and which social and environmental imperatives it addresses. We figure that if you're on this page, you may already have a little idea of the whys and hows.
Level 1: find the entrance to the rabbit hole. Welcome to planet ethical fashion!
Level 2: make your way through it without getting lost. No worries, we'll hand you the map. Basically: how to switch to more eco-responsible shopping when you're starting from scratch, how not to be fooled by brands that claim to be all green (and are clearly not squeaky clean), what we actually mean when we say "organic" or "eco-friendly"...
We don't claim to hold the absolute truth, but we're sure of one thing: with the right tools, you can become a consumer who is a real driver of change.
Because you have to start somewhere, you might as well start well.
