"Fashion and Ethics "focuses on issues of power, social
positioning, and practices among creators, producers,
practitioners, wearers, and consumers of fashion. With a special
emphasis on the moral fabric of clothing, contributors to the book
offer a critique of some of the fundamental assumptions of ethical
fashion and expose how products are often framed as fair trade in
order to relieve consumers' guilt.
With essays that problematize issues such as ethical fashion's
self-appointed morality, the first-world notion that the
environment should take priority over human development, the
conflict between business profit and ethics, the unintended agendas
involved in consuming green cosmetics or ethical culinary trends,
and the discursive strategies of denial of the extreme cruelty in
the procurement of animal skin and fur for use in fashion, "Fashion
and Ethics "applies its uncompromising scrutiny to all areas of
fashion. Throughout, the volume forces readers to confront the
question: Does ethical fashion go deep enough into challenging
unethical behavior or is it just a charade of good intentions?
