Absolutely, I've been on a quest to find fair trade and responsible clothing since I watched this show (sorry in Dutch): [0]. It's pretty clearly aimed at fashionable youth which I'm not but I still found it utterly confronting. The conditions that the workers live in (I say live but it's often just sleep and the rest is work) are crazy. They are sleeping above formalin baths. swimming in chemicals that slowly cause burn wounds, they live near rivers that are bright blue from dyes. Cotton fields take all water in an area away from humans who need it more.
Luckily there are alternatives, in the Netherlands I found [1] (apologies, also in Dutch), and there are many more of such companies. The crazy thing is that it's really not that expensive and they even make the clothing high quality so I have to shop less (I hate shopping). (Ok, so I never really was the target for fast fashion.) I'm open to other suggestions for responsible (quality) clothing.
