Lily Cole now offers ethical garments
We’re not exactly sure what ‘ethical clothing’ means. We had a quick look and all we could find was that it meant ‘different things to different people’, which basically gives us free rein to do whatever we want with the term. Like corrupt it.
So essentially, no one likes to work, right? So any kind of work is a kind of punishment? So anyone making any clothes at all is being punished? So all clothes are unethical, and by extension, ethical? Do you follow? No? Well, quite frankly, if anyone thinks we are talking these remarkably cheap and comfortable H&M (our brothers in the clothing world) slacks off simply because one of the starving, poverty stricken workers may have lost a finger or two then they are severely mistaken. Anything this soft to the touch would require at least a leg wound or serious facial injury before we’d even consider it.*
Anyway, here’s our favourite strawberry haired princess** opening the Environmental Justice Foundation’s ethical fashion shop on London’s ethically neutral Carnaby street. Apparently you can now fill up your wardrobe with a guilt free conscience. Even if you have mysterious blood splatters on your shirt. It’s like absolution for your sins, but every day.
Also, as mentioned above, Lily Cole does look a bit like an extra from Captain Planet, a man who used to spend a lot of his time trying to take pollution down to zero, and who was also the hero of a particularly ethnically diverse set of children. A coincidence? We think not.
*We’re joking, of course. Apparently there were some problems with misconstrued sarcasm in yesterday’s ‘Chanelle is a fat beast’ article, so we thought we’d clear it up, for anyone that mistook this site for an extension of The New Statesman or The FT. Apparently it happens more than you’d think.
**We’re just trying to make you jealous Karen. Call us.
