Global fashion - fair fashion?

Make sure you check out the new series on BBC3 this evening, 'Blood, Sweat and T-shirts'. This is a new 4 part series and you should watch it if you are a 'slave for fashion'.

"Six young fashion lovers swap shopping for the factories and backstreet workshops of India to learn how the clothes they wear are manufactured. In this programme the Brits also have to live in the their fellow workers homes, in cramped conditions without basic facilities like hot water and western loos. They start at a multi-million pound factory that makes clothes for some of the biggest brands on the UK high street."
