Safia Minney @ People Tree0
Posted In Inspirations
Safia Minney is easily one of the kindest, most inspirational people I’ve ever met. Safia is the founder of Fair Trade and environmental fashion label People Tree. Safia turned a lifelong interest in environmental, trade and social justice issues into a business and is regarded as one of the worlds foremost commentators of Fair Trade in the fashion industry.
Unethical fashion means very very little accountability and knowledge of the supply chain. Demanding extremely quick production and producers playing off against each other. Leaving a wage that doesn’t even afford the worker an adequate salary for two meals a day. Most of this unsustainable fashion is found on our high streets. Safia wants to make a change…
People Tree is supported by actress Emma Watson who designed a collection for www.peopletree.co.uk that spoke to a younger generation. Emma went out to Bangladesh to experience first hand how Fair Trade clothing is made.
