I went to a fabric market with desinger Zhou, he told me that the fabric price in Italy is very competitive compared with in London. He familiar with the price as he was studying in Italy for 3 years.
- we can find any fabric we want in the market. Whether it’s a retailer, a wholesaler, or a fabric factory, there’s plenty of supplies.
- The price is depend on different fabric. London market is much expensive than Italy, and Asia. and I believe the lowest price is in Asia, for example China. I have bought pure silk to make a shirt. the price is amazing.
- One aspects of Ethical fashion is about to improve the garment makers’ income, working conditions, and other legal rights. Can we encourage these skilled workers to make their own clothes and sell them on a platform? When they have the autonomy to buy, make, and sell cloths, they can earn a reasonable wage for their work, instead of being exploited by fast fashion. they can change their working conditions by themselves, and they will have the ability somehow to protests their own right when they grow bigger.
- I have met several designers came to the shop and buy fabrics. they told me that they make cloth and sell by themselves. why not we encourage the garment makers to do the same thing?
