Abstract

This paper represents an attempt to examine and evaluate ethical fashion. It will use a combination of primary as well as secondary sources of information to provide some plausible answers to the questions surrounding the field of ethical fashion. The Ethical Fashion Forum (EEF) suggests that ethical fashion represents an approach to the design, sourcing and manufacture of clothing which maximises benefits to people and communities while minimising impact on the environment. However, in practice these definitions do not always apply to every garment made under the ‘ethical’ label. Therefore, the EEF believes that the application and integration of the triple bottom line concept at the core of the business practices and policy throughout the organisation would be crucial ( www.EEF.com ). Summary statement of contribution: Ethical fashion appears to be gaining prominence and popularity and as such this paper endeavours to augment previous research and investigations into the theme with what might be viewed as further insight albeit limited in investigative impact.
