Debate: For or Against Ethical and Couture Fashion

Our group is arguing 'For' Ethical and Couture fashion, we have shared the topics between the group.

My topic is Ethical - Reuse, Recycling and zero waste, and natural fibres.

I am happy with this topic as i am really interested in Fair trade ethical fashion.

I completed some basic research on to the two topics of debate :

Ethical -

The fashion industry has an VAST impact on the environment.

You can find fair trade products by looking out for the fair trade mark, which guarantees that that product has been made in line with fair trade standards, as set out by the Fairtrade Foundation.

Paying better prices Ensuring decent working conditions

More and more designers and businesses are now making fashion ranges out of recycled clothes, recycled fabrics or fibres.

Customise clothes you have bought second-hand from charity shops, its cheap and individual.

You might be suprised from what you can create from something you thought you would never wear again with a little bit of imagination, cutomise.......unique style




Couture -

You can pay up to £50,000 for an evening frock!!!!

If you are not rich it's hard for an individual to understand why the price is so high, but it's for service, workmanship, originality of a unique design and superb materials of the finest quality.

The made to measure exclusive clothes are virtually made by hand, carefully interlined, stay taped and fitted to perfection for each client.

Haute Couture is a French phrase for High Fashion.
