it seems indeed that Fashion and Politics do not mix ... for obvious reasons and yet to simply fold back and do nothing is rather unrealistic when the facts are that the fashion industry does bear a great responsability in many aspects of the work conditions it provides, its business ethics and the negative way in which it contributes to the detriment of the environment. When such utterly relevant urgent agendas are brushed aside because fashion cannot mix with politics that in a way is rather to easy and seems to perpetuate the thought of its inability to be taken serious therefore changing nothing in the end .... being intellectual about 'fashion and politics' is very interesting and fascinating reading but it doesn't offer any solutions to the problems in need to be addressed but on the contrary it just tends to validate the argument that Fashion cannot be taken serious and is rather irrelevant when it comes to politics and that seems to justify its keeping of the status quo as it is today which in the end we don't want to continue as it is or do we ?
