Ahead of Paris Fashion Week, Washington, DC will have its own ethical fashion show this Thursday. The organizers hope to draw public attention to the final product but also to those who made it and the raw materials used.
But why does fashion matter? The textile and apparel industries represent 10 percent of global trade with the developing world, and clothing imports to the U.S. account for 90 percent of the its $60 billion market.
See the invitation and come if you are in the area.
