For this to make ANY SENSE read the post below first.
After that little number I think it's time for a rant about how eco fashion needs to get its ass in gear. It's all very well giving the workers the amount of money they deserve and 'keeping it real' but when the idea of real attracts around 0.1% of the world's population, you can't help but think that if they really wanted to make money and change the fashion world then they would aim their stuff at the mass market.
Levis have the right idea. So do H&M (even though they make rubbish clothes). Levis have released an organic cotton range. I'm not sure whether it's fair trade too. But it's a start. H&M have done the same thing but I have a sneaking suspicion that their clothes are made in grotty places.
I think it's time to name and shame some BAD COMPANIES. PRIMARK=EVIL. The only reason you can buy your clothes so cheaply is because they get them made for nout. Less than nout. Tescos is worse. They have around three times as much money as any other high street chain the last time I checked. They destroy boutiques and make it hard for new designers who want to show their individuality. And their clothes are RANK.
On the other glove, American Apparel are extremely good. They make their clothes in house in LA(X) and still keep their prices relatively low. Junky Styling. JUNKY STYLING. Genius. They take old garms and make them into new babies of loveliness. MMMMM. Nice.
This connects to my previous post, in I was reading how they took an old Louis Vuitton bag and made it into a new piece of originality. Clever stuff.
Well that's enough I think. Although the post went nowhere. I need to make a criteria next time.
Au revoir

Also Fenchurch make a nice fairtrade range and the logo looks sick. and it's sponsored by that guy from get cape wear cape....not sure if that's a good thing o not?
samuel, its niki, primark at least do not mark up their prices in the way that large scale companies such as nike do. they also use 'expensive' materials, at least primark make it cheap and keep it cheap, they are monopolizing the market for cheap clothing, and are slowly inflating. primark allow thousands of people to keep themselves and children clothed, there are two sides of the spectrum. slave labour is well bad though. love ya
