Jane Shepherdson, who was Topshop’s brand director, resigned at a most inopportune time, ten days after the news came out about Kate Moss for TopShop. She has now said that, “It was getting a bit boring”; now we can’t take this statement seriously. She goes on however to slam cheap chic saying:
“We should always question if something is very, very cheap and think that if you, the consumer, aren’t paying for it, then someone, somewhere down the line, is paying.”
Shepherdson has just came on board with People Tree an ethical fashion label, though her remarks seem at least on the surface to be an attack on TopShop which to my mind makes her sound more bitter then sincere.
What do you think of eco fashion? Is it something that you would come on board with?
