Separating Art from Artist - Topic of the day 6/15/24
my decade of fashion hobby synthesized:
- ethical consumption is a game of hedging losses, there's little winning to be had
- however, labor chain ethics are real and can be considered
- however, neoliberal capitalism makes it such that globalized labor leads to lower labor costs which leads to lower priced clothing, and most people cannot afford the prices that "ethical" clothing requires to be financially viable for the maker

even Bardo, tho their fabric quality isn't as good. I think they're too young and broke as a brand to compete on that front.
