Straight off the catwalk & behind the scenes...

Greetings, ladies and gentleman. Seems as though you have come across the Fashion Faux Pas blog. Before you get an explanation of what our purpose is. Don’t forget to take a good look around, skim through our posts and feel free to comment as much as you like!

Okay, lets begin – the Fashion Faux Pas blog focuses on the no no’s behind the fashion industry. More specifically the inhumane treatment of animals, sweatshop workers, and the hypnotic influence of brands on their consumers.

Behind the scenes of Fashion Faux Pas

Chloe will be opening the eyes of our readers to the cruelty of animal testing in the cosmetic industry. Anything to do with lipgloss, eyeshadow, foundation and botox – she’ll write about it.

We want you to think twice about wearing fur as it is cruel. This is what Eileen will be presenting to our readers. The behind the scenes savagery and torture towards animals in order to create those luxury coats, scarves and hats, etc that seem to be determine the wealth of a person. No amount of wealth can excuse the millions of murders each year.

Does a homeless man wear Versace? No. Why is this? Well that is what Eyan is going discuss. More to the point – she will discuss the class seperation within society that is a result of big name fashion brands. The influence of such brands often creates a social divide and determines the status of each member of society.

Last but not least is Sarah. She will be focusing on the desperate industrial world of sweatshop workers and the violation of human and work rights by governments and big brand entrepreneurs. The clothes each of us wear have the sweat and tears of these people, both young children and elderly men and women.

We are sure that one, if not all of these topics wil draw the interest of our readers. Enjoy reading and please do not hesitate to post comments, feedback and your own opinion in regards to each of the topics – everyone is entitled to their own viewpoints and beliefs!
