Ethical Clothing Brand Launches New Range With Exciting Competition

Nov. 6, 2008 - PRLog -- Freedom Clothing Project http://www.freedomclothingproject.org, the ethical clothing think-and-do tank has recently launched previews of its Spring-Summer 2009 range called reconstyle http://www.reconstyle.co.uk

The basis of the range is that it is produced from waste clothing materials, which in the UK represents a major disposal problem.  The reconstyle range is produced by UK homeworkers, who have few workers rights and are often paid below the National Minimum Wage.

To launch the range, Freedom Clothing Project has announced the first in an exciting series of revamping competitions.  These are designed to encourage people to think creatively about how to use the “waste clothing mountain” as a resource rather than a problem.

The v-vamp http://www.v-vamp.info is based on 500 identical overstocked v-neck t-shirts.  Participants will receive a v-neck and will be able to print, cut, embroider, embellish or do anything else they want with it. The competition is free to enter and one winning contestant will receive £250 and see their entry reproduced as part of the reconstyle range.  

Check out more of the concepts behind the reconstyle range by clicking here http://www.reconstyle.co.uk or get details on how to enter the v-vamp competition here http://www.v-vamp.info

The v-vamp ends on 7 January 2009, so why not get involved?
