Seam Ripper

M.J. Prest | March 2009

Read what we’ve had to say about greenwashing and other ethical fashion scams on the Behind the Seams blog:

  • We review Time magazine’s tips for avoiding greenwashed products, now that the organic industry has exploded to a whopping $20-billion in annual sales.
  • Starlets are out in full force wearing their favorite message tees, but which support charitable causes and which don’t?
  • Stella McCartney may need to check her facts: Supporting organic cotton is fine and dandy, but wearing conventional cotton doesn’t translate into health risks.
  • Was PETA really giving away fur coats to the homeless during Inauguration Weekend in Washington, D.C.?
  • The “manorexia” policy upheld by organizers of a U.K. fashion show last fall seemed more P.R. stunt than genuine concern for models’ well-being.
