The True Cost Page #4

defining the sweatshops.

We must be very clear

what we talked about at the beginning.

We're talking about places with poor working conditions

from the standpoint of normal Americans,

low wages for our level, places where children work,

that can violate the labor law of the country,

but there are key characteristics of the type,

of which I want to talk tonight, Kennedy,

And there are places where people choose to work,

certainly a number of other bad choices.

I mean, there is nothing inherently dangerous

in sewing clothes.

Then we started

with a relatively safe industry.

It's not like coal mining, mining or natural gas,

or a lot of things I could ... that are much more dangerous.

Work on these workshops seem horrible working conditions and salaries

for anyone in the West who have enough money

to have a TV and watch your video.

But we must remember that the alternatives available

for these workers are not our alternatives.

They are much worse than our alternatives,

and they are usually much worse

who work in its factory worker.

Low wages, unsafe conditions and disasters in factories

They are justified by the need to create jobs

for people without alternatives.

This story has become the narrative,

used to explain how the fashion industry now

Worldwide.

But there are those who believe

there must be a better way

to manufacture and sell clothing

generating economic growth,

but causing havoc.

So I do not know yet

how long has this embroidery.

Do you think you can ask about Santo ...?

How long has that whole panel?

I guess because it was then seen in the breakdown of press FAB,

but it will be great to know, right?

Safia Minney am. I am the founder and CEO of People Tree,

and People Tree is a fashion brand of fair trade,

It began over 20 years ago in Japan.

We worried that we had too navy.

How about now?

Because we put more black in PV14

and it worked very, very well

in collaboration with Orla design.

Do we have enough prints in black in the collection?

Well, we've lost that abstract print dust, east of here,

in black, but I think this pink, really ...

It is one of those prints

I worry a bit but all work well.

I think most fashion brands

They start with a concept of a collection or style.

Not often think:

"Who is going to make the product?

And I can make sure how manufacturers,

or suppliers are going to eat? "

So what we try to do in People Tree

it really started with the capabilities we have

in each group of manufacturers, and then design the collection,

while we look at the integrity of the collection

in aesthetics.

Originally I worked with independent designers

and I went to Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, India, Nepal, Philippines,
