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. 

Much of what we think of as ethical fashion is the external, the obvious - shirts, dresses, denim, bags, jewellery - but what about the most everyday item of clothing? What about ethical underwear?

In the final episode (sniff!) of this series, Clare chats with Hannah Parris, one of the founders of Mighty Good Undies, the ethical label that exploded on to the scene in 2016 with their Fair Trade, organic cotton undies. Hannah and Clare speak about the environmental activism that lead to the creation of Mighty Good Undies, why collaboration has been absolutely vital in its success and why people are now paying more attention to the stories behind the clothes they wear.

Such a great end to what's been a great series. Thanks to everyone whose been involved and here's to continuing to ask, "Who made my clothes?"

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. 

The nature of ethical fashion is often tied most closely to the people who make the garments, but it doesn't stop there. What about animal welfare and environmental stewardship? Farming practices and the biodegradable fabrics?

Clare speaks with Pip Smith of Love Merino - a family-owned label crafting scarves made from the finest Merino grown right on their farm in Wellington, NSW. They chat about the Smith's holistic management of the land, the way they use a sustainable sheep breed in order to stop any need for mulesing, and also the steps they take to ensure that each step of the process in producing their scarves is ethical and in support of small Australian businesses.

Welcome to Who Made My Clothes

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.
