Fashion’s deadliest disaster prompts Bangladeshi workers to opt for university

April 25, 2016 By publisher

By Nita Bhalla NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – It was a disaster which shook the global fashion industry – laying bare the stark reality of the dangerous factory conditions faced by millions of Bangladeshis who stitch the clothes sold in the gleaming high street stores of the West. In all, the bodies of 1,136 garment workers were pulled out of the rubble when the Rana Plaza building – an eight-floor factory complex supplying clothes to big brand fashion retailers – collapsed in April 2013 on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital. Three years on, as experts lament how government, retailers, factory owners and consumers have done little to safeguard workers, a small miracle has emerged from the tragedy and is slowly taking shape in the southeastern corner of the country.

Fast fashion to ethical couture: Vietnam’s design evolution

April 8, 2016 By publisher

Long a bastion for cheap, fast-fashion manufacturing, a new crop of designers are trying to transform the Made in Vietnam label and save the country's rich ethnic heritage in the process. In the remote hills of Cao Bang, some 300 kilometres north of the capital Hanoi, Vietnamese designer Thao Vu is gleefully dropping swaths of hand-spun cotton into a large bucket of fermented indigo leaves. The 38-year-old designer has been tapping into this growing global trend by working with some of Vietnam's 54 ethnic minority groups, each of which have their own unique textiles and traditional clothing designs.

Britain to investigate modelling agencies for alleged price fixing

October 30, 2015 By admin

Britain has opened a full investigation into the country’s major modelling agencies to determine whether they fixed the prices they charge for their models, officials said on Friday. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) started an initial investigation in March into “anti-competitive arrangements”, such as whether agencies worked together to set the prices paid by retailers and brands. The competition watchdog has not named any of the agencies under investigation.
