Hi everyone!

[Elizabeth Wissinger]

Not sure anyone is checking this email anymore, but I just couldn't resist sending you this article; it's about a luxury company that is doing ethical high fashion and making a pointed effort to make deals with artisans in troubled/poor part of the world and get them paid what they are worth. Seems a brilliant concept. They have a store on Crosby Street, apparently. 

Hope they are a success! 

Hope you are all doing well.

Hello Prof Wissinger,

This sounds great. I'm taking a course titled From Celebrities to Sweatshops: Ethical Issues in Fashion and I can share this with the class. I'm presenting in London this Saturday at 9am (3am Dallas time) I'm excited but worried I will yawn through most of it. Lol. 

Take care and please do share articles when you have time.

Best,

Elif Kavakci

Hope everyone had a good start of the Spring semester. Thanks Professor for sending the article. It looks like a great idea indeed! I'm eager to know more details about their business plan.
