Round Two | Be Curious
1. According to Fashion Revolution’s 2017 Loved Clothes Last fanzine, how can
you tell if your clothes are well made?
Look at the seams: if they’re neat, tidy, smooth, lay flat and the stitches are
close together, that item of clothing will last
Look at the label: if it’s made in Europe or North America, it must be of better
quality that clothes made elsewhere in the world
Look at the brand: if it’s an internationally recognised designer brand, the extra
money that you pay for it is
the sign of true quality

Clothes’ online course that it was a Western value to impose higher wages
on garment workers in non-Western countries, what did ethical fashion
entrepreneur Kalkidan Legesse say?
It is a Western value to want to be paid fairly for the work that you do
During the West’s Industrial Revolution factory workers were paid terrible
wages. So we shouldn’t interfere with the natural economic process of
development
Paying garment workers more than other people in their communities
inevitably changes their culture and value system
It’s not a Western value to want to be paid fairly for the work that you do
