I once read that fashionwas a 'don't ask, don't tell' industry. I don't believe that to be the case.It's true thatwe are disassociated fromthe story behind howsome of our favourite wardrobe pieces aremade but ethical fashion is a lifestyle choice. And it's an easy choice tomake. Ethical/Sustainable fashion is


becoming amore andmore popular choice for the fashion conscious with a conscience. Sometimes it's easy to be swept up in the beauty of a store and all the newitems that you've convinced yourself your wardrobe needswith just one lustful look. But if youwant to knowthe story behindwhomade your new favourite dress and howthat head scarfwasmade then these sustainable fashion brands need to be added to your shopping destinations. People Tree is your


wardrobe anchor. It has somany pieces perfect for everydaywear. It gives you that luxe stylewith all the comfort. Alongwith its enticing designs, People Tree tries to be 100% Fair Trade. It has ameet the maker section on its website, so you can knowthe story behind all your newclothes aswell as being environmentally friendly and sustainable in allways possible.
