One major change is now taking place in the world of clothing is its fashion. The clothing world has now been forced to deal with the twin issues of fair trade clothing and ethical clothing. What do these two portend for the world of clothing?

Fair Trade Clothing

This has always been basically about costs. Proponents of fair trade clothing insist that it is time we think of the poor in our society, especially the marginalized nations and its peoples in the world. Consequently, they say that cheap clothing is made by likeminded American and Briton including the famous French clothing houses.

Fair trade clothing is therefore not concerned with profits and money but the well being of the people they want to protect and dress. In the recent past the clothes produced for fair trade clothing have always been accused and criticized for not being stylish and therefore no one among the rich and famous who were asked to advertise the clothing would wish to wear it. In this regard stylish fair trade clothing has began slowly and steadily to creep into the clothing fashion scene.

Ladies Tops

Fair trade clothing has cute jersey basics, shirts, cardies, print tees, long tunics and waist coats that are pretty stylish and only going for ? 50 and not more than ? 60. The bottoms are also stylish and cheap.

Party Wear

Fair trade clothing has really developed in the party wear section with beautiful Grecian dresses, sling pockets, bow silk shift dresses and the cocktail dresses. They more or less look like the expensive French haute couture. For men the tops and bottoms are also great, antonym cargo and the cargo crop trousers are cute as for shirts we have the Jude flower, Giles jacquaril and Ivan check shirts.

Fair traders have with them some of the best fair trade clothing designers. The likes of Tsumari Chisato, Bora Aksu and Richard Nichol are amongst many others.

Ethical Clothing

Proponents of ethical clothing insist that clothing should go organic. The reason is that, they say chemicals on the contemporary cloths are too much and spoil people's health as well as the whole environment.

Therefore, even as the fair trade clothing folks complain, the ethicists insist that cheap clothing should be the order but also coupled with healthy fabric. In fact for ethicists, wool which is considered unhealthy due to the mulesing act where the sheep is slaughtered without safety precautions being taken is not used as a cloth fabric. Ethical clothing is now widely considered by Gucci, Paris haute couture Chloe and the greatest ethical designer, Stella McCartney. The Indian gown designer, Hermant Trevedi is also a well known ethicist designer.

Ethical clothing has no leather, fur or any animal product fabric. The cute cloths produced by ethicists are the moon beam, A-line, Natto and the three season tulip skirts. For men there are the Mod pant and the Hemp Drawstring pants all at about ?30.

Fair trade clothing and ethical clothing can exist together it seems.
