Slave to Fashion by Safia Minney

Slave to Fashion by Safia Minney is made up of interviews and micro-documentaries with the people who make our clothes. These men, women and children making the clothes sold on our high streets, are caught up in slavery.

This book profiles best practices of change-making brands and designers within the fashion industry. They prove that slave-free fashion is achievable and fashion can be used to empower workers. All whilst creating beautiful, competitive and accessible fashion. This book provides inspiration to designers, conscious consumers, business people and policy makers alike.

From 2015, the Modern Slavery Act requires medium to large-sized companies of £36 million or more to report on their progress in eradicating slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains. If not, they need to declare it. Slave To Fashion presents the facts, stories and actions we must take to eradicate modern slavery.

Slave to Fashion by Safia Minney back cover:

“There are 35.8 million people trapped in modern slavery today – the largest number of slaves in modern history. This is fuelled by the global demand for cheap labour – which is what makes the fast fashion industry work. It doesn’t have to be that way. Slave to Fashion while highlighting the terrible reality for millions of garment workers in the Global South, offers hope of a fairer, more ethical world and gives the reader plenty of tools to navigate a challenging fashion system.

Safia Minney brings this subject to life with her years of experience in championing workers rights. I hope you will want to join her in her mission to bring a voice to the voiceless and help be the change we all want to see.”

Livia Firth, Creative Director of Eco Age and ethical fashion ambassador

“What gives this book unique power is that Safia has lived every page of it in her lifelong fight to shine a light into the darkest corners of fashion’s best-kept secrets. What emerges is a painful portrait of unnecessary suffering but also a much-needed raod map for anyone intent on making a better world.”

Andrew Morgan, Filmmaker, director of ‘The True Cost’ movie.
