The guys from Civilist Berlin just did it all right – and Mr. Jon Warren thinks the same. And I bet you will too if you should drop by one day to check their collections of aNYthing, HUF, DQM, Girl, Nike SB, Norse, PAM, Ransom, Vans Syndicate, vintage Supreme and tons of rare books and magazines about the greatest city in the world and contemporary culture in general.
In an industry as large as fashion, it remains difficult to know the conditions of many production facilities. That’s where the labor conditions group Fair Wear Foundation comes in. The Amsterdam-based nonprofit aims to fully expose the manufacturing process with a verification system to ensure that garments are made under sustainable working environments. As a multi-stakeholder initiative, they work to get corporate and textile associations, trade unions and non-governmental associations on board too.
With ten years already under their belt, FWF represents many fashion brands from Acne and Mammut to Cheap Monday and Nudie Jeans. Today the foundation inspects 1,000-plus factories that manufacture garments for 50 labels, helping reassure consumers that, from China to Turkey, fair labor standards are met.
