Fashion Revolution Week 2017 has arrived and with it, this special 7-part podcast series hosted by Clare Press of Wardrobe Crisis, highlighting the stories behind some of our region's most ethical clothing labels. 

Dr Hassan Ahmed is the co-founder of Conscious Step, an organisation that takes an everyday product that we all buy and wear - the humble sock - manufactures it ethically (Fair Trader certified) and then shares profits of each pair sold with a variety of world-changing charities. 

In this conversation with Clare, Ahmed talks about the history of Conscious Step, how they choose the charities they support, and why he thinks ethical fashion is becoming more prevalent in both women and menswear.

Much of the global fashion industry can be opaque, exploitative and environmentally damaging and desperately needs revolutionary change. We love fashion, but we don’t want our clothes to come at the cost of people or our planet. In recognition of Fashion Revolution Week 2017 (April 24th - 30th) Fashion Revolution Australia New Zealand and Jackrabbit.FM have teamed up to look closer at the brands, the people, the designers and the ideas behind some of Australia and New Zealand’s most responsible independent fashion labels and start answering the question of Who Made Your Clothes. Get involved over at http://www.fashionrevolution.org or search for #whomademyclothes on social media and be the change!

Fashion should feel good. But even more - fashion should do good. Join the Fashion Revolution and put people and planet first.
