bread-and-roses-page1Tansy Hoskins is the author of Stitched Up: the anti-capitalist book of fashion. She returns to Nottingham to discuss world trade, focusing on the garment industry. We all know that £11 t-shirts are an issue…are we bad if we buy them? What of Fair Trade, and the re-export of secondhand clothes to poor countries? How can we dress well, but ensure that those who make our clothes live well?
