I write a fair bit about ethical fashion. Whether that be recycled, second hand and vintage clothing or designers and retailers trying to produce their fashion more ethically and responsibly. Over the last year I’ve written about swishing, ethical silk, ethically conscious fashion and low cost retailers.

There is a increasing range of voices out there calling for and reporting on ethically produced fashion, the recycling side of things like vintage and pre-owned clothing (as opposed to it’s benefits to your wallet) and an increasing awareness of how the fashion industry needs to sit up and take notice of ethical and Green issues.

I’ve tried to put together a bit of further reading. Some of these blogs are focused mainly on green and ethical fashion, others are fashion blogs with an interest in trying to make their wardrobes more ethical and Eco friendly.
