The Real Cost of Cheap Fashion

24/1/2017

5 Comments

 
Last night was the first of two programmes about what really goes on in the fashion industry and the hidden cost of fashion clothing. Dispatches on Channel 4 'Undercover: Britain's Cheap Clothes' went behind the scenes to report on the shocking reality of poor working conditions, low pay, and hazardous environments.

Shamefully, this is nothing new, it has been investigated and reported many times over the years and scandalously the situation is still continuing. Remember how outraged we all were at the collapse of the 
Rana Plaza factory building in Bangladesh resulting in the death of 1100 workers?

How about when in Cambodia workers were shot for protesting about low pay, 100 hours a week for poverty level wages! Fires, chemical poisoning, oppressive management style .... oh yes, it's all still happening out there. 

I spent some time researching the rise of fast fashion and the consequences of mass production when studying for my textiles degree. For those that are interested here is a link to a copy of my essay written back in 2015

​..... sadly it is clear that nothing much has changed.

​As always, your comments are welcome.
