Fashion Designer Questions Tesco Green Credentials

The Daily Telegraph reports today that designer Katherine Hamnett has pulled out of a deal to supply organic and fair trade clothes. The paper reports her as saying,

"I was initially really excited about the tie-up because I thought we could increase demand for ethical products," says Ms Hamnett in an interview published in Drapers, the fashion industry's trade magazine, today. "But I've come to the conclusion that [Tesco] simply wants to appear ethical, rather than make a full commitment to the range."

Thanks to Ian for the story!
