BBC Launches Online Ethical Fashion Magazine
The BBC has launched an online ethical fashion magazine.

Thread looks at the issues facing fashion conscious people who care where their clothes come from.

The designer Katherine Hamnett says "Thread is great because ethical fashion promises to be the next big thing and not just a passing fad. Young people are really interested in these issues."

Thread is said to cut to the heart of what "ethical fashion" means, covering a range of issues from the environmental footprint of clothing manufacture, to the impact of the fashion industry on human and animal rights and why the choices we make when shopping for clothes make a real difference.
