In the beginning.....

Intro:

Personally, I find the developing ethical side of the fashion industry very interesting so that's what my blog, Redesigning Recycling, will focus on. From the environmentally friendly to those promoting fair trade and even some trying to do it all Redesigning Recycling will provide details of designers working on these issues, current charity campaigns being run and give a heads up on which companies are striving to be as ethical as possible. I will research these and put all the info together in one place saving others the hard work and hopefully, ultimately increase awareness.

As this is only the first post I’m just going to focus on one worthy cause to kick-start the blog.

Cause 1:

Oxfam is a well known charity which helps many good causes and in relation to fashion my eye was caught by their Big Bra Hunt campaign. All you need to do to join in with this is donate your old bras to an Oxfam store from which they will be redistributed and resold either in the UK or Senegal to raise money for Oxfam’s projects. I liked the sound of this because I for one have a lot of spare bras which I have no use for so I will definitely be donating and I urge you to as well.
