Tracey Dockree graduated with a first in Fashion Design at Falmouth University in 2015.
“Before I started my fashion degree in 2012, I assumed everyone in the world followed the same labour laws and health standards that we do in the UK. During my degree I began to learn the truth about what goes on behind the scenes in the fashion industry. I was deeply shocked at how much people and the planet suffer to make our clothes.
“More recently, facts about slavery in the fashion industry have started to be covered more in the press. More people are becoming aware that slaves are involved in the making of most of our clothes want to know how they can shop more ethically.
“Ethical Rebel was founded to help make a difference to the fashion industry. We want others to know the risks garment makers, dyers, weavers, spinners and farmers take to make their clothes so they can make informed choices about the clothes they buy and wear.
“We want to make the complex issues easier to understand, make shopping for ethical clothes easier and suggest ways in which readers can become ethical rebels, helping the fashion industry eradicate slavery and pollution and treat people and the world we live in with respect.”
