If you’ve got a passion for fashion but don’t like the way that high-street brands exploit workers in developing countries, then you need to attend the International Youth for Fair Trade Conference on 30^th October to 1^st November in Coventry.  Come along and find out how fashion can be beautiful for everyone and what you as a fashion lover can do to make the fashion industry fairer.

Make Fashion Fair

The conference will give you the chance to learn from world experts about where our clothes come from and what we as consumers can do to improve the lives of the labourers that grow our cotton, manufacture our textiles and sew our garments.  Through a series of presentations and workshops over the weekend, you’ll see that fashion can be both fair and stylish.

Fair Trade Fashion highlights include:

• John Hilary of War on Want explains how what we buy has a real impact on people in the developing world
• Labour Behind the Label explain what Fairtrade labelling really means in the fashion industry
• Discuss how fast fashion has accelerated consumption
• Make your own Fair Trade T-shirt design with Ella Sharp and Coventry University fashion department
