Since fashion was taught some ethics suddenly the are all the big names are firmly on the band wagon and it's painted green. This poses quite an oxymoron. While these high street moguls suposedly repent of thier sins their organic shorts and hemp handbags hang oblivious next to the rack of jersey vests that were pumped out of a sweatshop. Buying clothes can not only weight heavy on the old balance enquiry at the cash machine but also on the conscience. Swap-a-rama parties are good for the soul becuase they don't cost anything. Just a shed of cast offs, a CD and possibly a bottle of fair trade wine (so not to be a hypocrite myself) That is unless you want you get yourself to Paris tomorrow....
ah Paris.
