Ethical brands take the lead at Australian Fashion Week

Ethical Clothing Australia is anticipating a wave of interest from forward-looking fashion brands as Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) kicks off on May 3 with runway shows from two leading brands that recently completed the Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation process, according to a ECA release.

Ethical Clothing Australia, the not-for-profit initiative which aims to assist the local clothing and fashion industry to ensure that Australian workers receive fair wages and decent conditions, will also have a stall for the week in Emerge at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay to promote their accreditation and labeling system.

Lisa Ho and Ginger Smart, the two fashion brands whose runway shows will open proceedings at RAFW, have both recently completed the accreditation process that allows the brands to display the Ethical Clothing Australia label on their Australian-made garments.

The two brands join a growing list of leading Australian fashion brands, such as Collette Dinnigan, Jets, Cue and Veronika Maine, who are eligible to display the Ethical Clothing Australia label on their Australian-made garments.
