Fashion Rules! Chicks on Speed and Fairwear Campaign project / Feb 2002
"What is the impact of globalisation on the fashion industry and the way we consume ... check out the way we live by warped rules of fashion ... fashion rules because of fashion rules"
WHO makes your clothes? Young designers often have their designs ripped off by the big labels while outworkers making the goods are paid as little as $3.80 an hour.
This project is a work in progress.
Fairwear will recycle a huge Chicks on Speed banner recently displayed at Le Bon Marche department store in Paris into a fake Chanel lap-top bag.
Opening night: performances and video screenings of past Fairwear and COS actions edited by Juliane Solmsdorf and Kylie Wilkinson.
For more info on the Australian fashion industry and the Homeworkers Code of Practice check out : FairWear Campaign: www.fairwear.org.au
Fashion Rules! catalogue was produced by Kylie Wilkinson for Fairwear Campaign and Chicks on Speed. This project is supported by Westspace, Mebourne and the Melbourne International Fashion Festival.
