Ethical fashion
When you think of ethical fashion you think of everyone in the process of making garments being treated fairly. Whether that be in the work place with the conditions they are in or whether they are getting paid the legal amount. However that's not the case for most factories that make the garments for some of these high street brands.
It's all about fast fashion now a days and everyone is competing to make sure they stay at the top of the trend game, producing and selling clothing before any other high street store does it first. In some cases this then means that unfortunately the clothing isn't produced ethically as the factories these stores choose to produce their clothing don't treat the workers well or morally.
The definition for ethical fashion is a term to describe ethical fashion design, production, retail and purchasing. It covers all sorts of issues involving the working conditions, exploitation of employees, fair trade, sustainable production, the environment and animal welfare.
Thankfully high street brands such as Topshop and others have a reputation to keep, so they make sure they stick to strict guidelines that insure they are producing ethical fashion. They make sure they regularly check the factories their clothes are produced in so they know that the workers in the factories are working in good conditions and are treated and paid fairly.
